Notorietà involontaria (Weird balloons)

This whimsical painting captures a vibrant street scene with a striking yellow balloon that draws the viewer's eye. Central to the composition is a newly adorned woman in a flowing peach skirt, whose playful stance radiates joy. Surrounding her, several figures of varying ages, including children and adults, seem captivated by the balloon, embodying a sense of wonder and curiosity. The background features quaint buildings and outdoor dining spaces, providing depth and life to the setting. The use of warm colors enhances the cheerful atmosphere, inviting the viewer into a lively, engaging moment.
This painting is ideal for placement in living rooms, children's playrooms, or cafes, bringing a lively and playful touch to any interior space. Its cheerful and engaging theme can serve as a conversation starter and creates an inviting environment.

Oil on linen 50x70x2cm (27.6x19.7x0.8in) 2024, ready to hang. This painting is part of the series “small figures” and shows a girl who just bought a weird balloon from a shop in the city centre. She is happy and attracts the attention of the people around her, including a young woman with her daughter. Another woman just noticed her and takes a picture with her mobile phone. I wanted to re-create a surreal situation in a urban context, with many human beings, and very colourful. I put great effort in painting the figures highly detailed, and to balance the colour palette so to make a vibrant and fresh artwork. Weird balloons is a 50x70cm oil on linen artwork, painted using top quality materials and stretched on a handmade wooden canvas.
