KIRAS - "DESIDERO" POPME! RED

“I want POPME!” RED is an explosion of desire, a pop gesture that becomes a declaration. The lips, in a velvety red that seems to absorb and return light like a precious fabric, emerge from the wall with a soft, sensual, almost tangible presence. The velvet effect creates a deep, vibrant surface that changes with the lighting and makes the work alive, pulsating, magnetic.

The absolute peculiarity of this sculpture is its structure: the mouth and the comic bubble “POP me!” are one piece, a compact body that unites gesture and word, form and message. The balloon is made with mosaic tesserae, a technique that adds rhythm, texture and a play of micro-reflections that amplifies the energy of the work. Each tessera catches the light in a different way, creating a dynamic and surprising effect.

The work is born in 3D-printed bioplastic, a plant-derived material chosen for its sustainability and for its ability to transform, through long manual processing, into a perfectly finished surface. The mouth is hand-flocked, applying the velvet effect evenly, an artisanal process that requires precision, care and a material sensitivity that is an integral part of KIRAS’s language.

The edition is limited to only 10 pieces, a choice that underscores the exclusivity of the work and guarantees that each piece is truly followed by the artist at every stage of the production. Those who buy it bring home a rare, precious, almost unique object.

The approx. dimensions of 33 × 31 cm make this sculpture a natural focal point: perfect for an entrance that aims to surprise, for a living room seeking a characterful accent, for a bedroom desiring a sensual touch, or for a creative studio or an exhibition space that wants a work capable of immediately capturing attention. Wherever placed, it becomes the protagonist.

KIRAS exhibits in Italian and international galleries and participates in contemporary art fairs such as ART3F, ArtePadova, ArtParma Fair and other European events. Her works, produced in limited editions and entirely curated by the artist, are today present in private collections in several countries.

The work is signed, numbered, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and packaged in the artist’s logo box.
