Santicri has participated in numerous art exhibitions of international importance. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he was present at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thus expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts. Santicri has been recognized among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 by Artmayeur, one of the most renowned platforms in the art world. In the same year, he was also listed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, another sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These accolades highlight the extraordinary talent and increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene. Santicri Mixed media Dimensions: 30x20x2 cm Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed Limited edition x/8 At the top of the canvas, the surface appears burned, deformed and marked by a transformation that seems to elude any control. The fire bursts into the work and becomes the protagonist of an unexpected event, while the depicted face reacts to what is happening, watching it with wonder and fear. The character is no longer a static presence within the composition, but seems to enter into a direct relationship with the transformation of the canvas. Its gaze becomes an integral part of the work, creating a kind of dialogue between what is depicted and what is actually happening to the surface. The work thus reflects on the fragility of matter and our need to maintain control. The fire represents the unforeseen, the event capable of breaking the balance and altering what seemed stable and definitive. The canvas thus becomes a moment of suspended tension between fear and transformation: the character witnesses the destruction of their own reality, while the work itself seems to react and change before their eyes. What initially appears to be destruction thus becomes a creative process. The material alters, the image changes, and the meaning of the work evolves, transforming the character’s fear into an integral part of their new identity. SHIPPING INSURED!.
