Composed on a 30 cm circular fir wood base, the piece presents a heart-shaped balloon made of foam clay and enamel, floating against a dual-tone background: vivid pink above and a textured grey surface below. The tiny miniature human figure, sculpted in resin and connected by a fine copper wire, adds a narrative tension—caught between gravity and sentiment, reality and imagination. The title Diventa ("Become") and the painted inscription quoting The Sword in the Stone— “Merlin: You see young man, this business of love — it's a most powerful thing!” “Arthur: Stronger than gravity?” —introduce a conceptual layer of ironic tenderness. The visual minimalism echoes pop and surrealist sensibilities, while the delicate figuration invites the viewer to reflect on vulnerability, connection, and symbolic elevation. This small-format sculptural wall piece brings together enamel gloss, acrylic texture and figurative storytelling into a work suitable for design-forward interiors and collectors seeking emotionally charged, thought-provoking contemporary objects.
