Notorietà involontaria (Weird balloons)

This captivating painting depicts a whimsical street scene, showcasing a young woman standing confidently in the center, holding a large, vibrant yellow balloon. She is dressed in a flowing, elegant skirt, which dances with her movements. Surrounding her are several figures of varying ages, including children mesmerized by her presence. The background features charming brick buildings, hinting at a cozy urban street, while a red awning from a nearby café creates a striking contrast with the scene. The overall composition evokes a sense of joy and playfulness, capturing a moment of simple happiness found in everyday life.
This artwork would be perfect for brightening up a modern living room, children's playroom, or an artistic café. Its cheerful mood and vibrant colors can create a focal point in any space, inviting conversations and bringing a lighthearted atmosphere. Consider placing it near seating areas or in hallways to inspire smiles.

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.
