Description by the gallery owner

Valentini's work depicts Leonardo DiCaprio holding a dollar, almost as if he were a contemporary deity, not in the traditional religious sense but as a symbol of the new cult of our time: that of personal security, individual success, and self-confidence as the only true value. The phrase "confidence is the real asset; if it works, it's justified" perfectly encapsulates this mentality, describing a world where it no longer matters whether something is right or wrong, but only whether it works. Ethics take second place to the outcome, and personal interest becomes more important than the collective good, the context, and our surroundings. The character looks at the viewer with an ambiguous expression, somewhere between self-celebration and the awareness of being part of a system that rewards those who believe in themselves without asking too many questions. The dollar becomes a sacred object, an icon, because today, trust is no longer placed in shared values, but in the individual's ability to assert themselves, to win, to emerge. It is an image that speaks of an era in which success justifies everything, in which the individual is more important than the whole, and in which morality is often sacrificed in the name of effectiveness, ambition and personal performance.
