Globo – The Explosive Birth of Color
"Globo" is a celebration of unpredictability, motion, and controlled chaos—a fusion of color and energy captured at the precise moment of release. This acrylic on canvas piece is not just a painting; it is the result of an action, a creative performance where chance meets artistic intention.

The Process: A Fusion of Forces
The foundation of Globo was carefully prepared with a textured gesso and metallic paint mix, applied in sweeping, irregular motions using a badigeon technique. This uneven, reflective surface serves as the perfect stage for what follows: an explosion of color.

With the canvas placed on a slightly inclined surface, I suspended a balloon filled with liquid acrylics mixed with vinyl glue above it. The tension mounted as I positioned myself at a 10-meter distance, armed with an airsoft gun. With a single precise shot, the balloon burst—sending a cascade of vibrant, fluid colors spilling across the canvas. The impact generated small scattered projections, but most importantly, it birthed a powerful vertical flow, as the mixture of hues merged and cascaded down the surface.

This raw and spontaneous method allowed gravity and motion to dictate the final composition, ensuring that no two moments—nor two paintings—could ever be identical.

Interpreting "Globo"
The result is an intense, organic movement, reminiscent of waterfalls, melting metals, or even a cosmic nebula expanding into space. The rich blend of blues, yellows, greens, and deep reds forms a visual symphony, where the transition between colors feels both natural and dramatic.

Beyond its visual impact, Globo tells a story of:

Tension and release – The built-up energy before the shot, culminating in a moment of liberation.
Chaos and harmony – The unpredictable splatter against the controlled descent of color.
Nature and mechanics – A balance between organic fluidity and the man-made intervention that triggered it.
The presence of the metallic base further enhances the perception of depth and movement, making the painting shift subtly with changes in light, much like waves shimmering under the sun.

A Bold and Unique Statement Piece

"Globo" is a testament to the power of momentum and instinctive creation. It is an ideal piece for those who appreciate action-based art, who embrace the beauty of the unexpected, and who seek an artwork that continues to evolve visually with its surroundings.

More than a painting, Globo is an event frozen in time, a visceral reminder of the explosive potential of creation itself.

Are you ready to let this energy invade your space?
