Cattelan's pink monkey is a tribute to one of the most important contemporary Italian artists #Maurizio Cattelan and his famous banana. Furthermore, the work is inspired by the style of NFT monkeys, very popular at this precise moment in artistic history. A surreal work, full of charm and mystery! I created this piece to explore the intersection between the everyday and the surreal, enriching it with a humor that challenges convention. The choice of vibrant color and the ironic central figure reflect a pop art expression, while impressionism is perceived in the fluidity of the forms. It is designed to stimulate conversation and energize any space with a touch of joy and a pinch of critical reflection. This monkey, with its human attributes and carefree attitude, invites viewers to reflect on the nature of personality and identity.
