KIRAS - "DESIDERO" POPME! RED

“Desidero 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 reflect light like a precious fabric, emerge from the wall with a soft, sensual, almost tactile presence. The velvet effect creates a deep, vibrant surface that changes with the lighting and makes the work alive, pulsing, magnetic.

The absolute peculiarity of this sculpture is its structure: the mouth and the comic panel “POP me!” are a single 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 amplify the energy of the work. Each tile catches the light in a different way, creating a dynamic and surprising effect.

The work is born in 3D-printed bioplastic, a plant-based material chosen for its sustainability and for its ability to transform, through a long manual finishing process, into a perfectly refined surface. The mouth is hand-flocked, applying the velvet effect uniformly, 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 emphasizes the exclusivity of the work and guarantees that each piece is truly overseen by the artist at every stage of the process. Whoever buys it brings home a rare, precious object, almost unique.

The dimensions of about 33 × 31 cm make this sculpture a natural focal point: perfect for an entryway that wants to surprise, for a living room seeking a characterful accent, for a bedroom that desires a sensual touch, or for a creative studio or 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. Its works, produced in limited runs 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 branded box.
