Description and Concept
The work 'Bubble Bobble' translates the intense rhythm of the game into a dance of vortices and chromatic bubbles. The structural grid in the background evokes the platform levels of the video game, while the tactile circles in blue, pink, and orange recall the protagonists (Bub and Bob) and the iconic enemy-capturing bubbles.
The contrast between the dark background and vibrant pastel colors gives the piece an exceptional brightness, making it a sophisticated 'Game Art' piece capable of complementing both modern furnishings and collections dedicated to pop culture.
