Description from the seller

Last Balloon – XL canvas artwork by La Mama

Sitting on a frozen bench, a monkey dressed as a man clutches an old suitcase, the last vestige of a past that's heavy to bear.
Around, the crowd passes by, blurred, indifferent. The snow falls in silence.
Only a red balloon rises slowly, a fragile dot of color in a frozen world. Last Balloon captures this suspended moment where childhood, exile, and solitude meet.



The artist's explanation of the work
This work is a metaphor for uprooting and the loss of innocence.
La Mama distorts the animal figure to speak of the human: waiting, abandonment, the gaze we avert. The balloon symbolizes the ultimate hope, ridiculous yet tenacious, that we hold onto even when everything seems frozen by the cold and time.



Details of the work:
• Limited edition: 1/10, signed by La Mama
• Dimensions: 46 x 66 cm (including white border)
• High-definition giclée print on premium canvas
Sold without frame or chassis.
• Secure delivery with careful packaging
Authenticity certificate provided via email.



Technical and artistic work:
A sophisticated digital creation built from a strong narrative composition, with meticulous attention to textures (snow, fabric, skin), depth of field, and desaturated colorimetry.
The contrast between the wintry scene and the red of the ball has been accentuated to guide the viewer's eye and heighten the emotional impact.



About La Mama:
La Mama develops a universe in which the symbol replaces speech.
Their works question the human condition, contemporary society, and its blind spots, through powerful scenes, often silent, always charged with meaning.



Why "Last Balloon"?
Because sometimes there's only one thing left to cling to.
Just as tiny. Just as fragile.



A poignant and narrative work, ideal for a contemporary interior that values socially engaged art and images that tell more than they decorate.
