KIRAS - SPLASH! - VELVET VIOLA - versione grande

“GELATO – SPLASH! VELVET VIOLET” (large edition) is a wall sculpture by Italian artist KIRAS, which turns a pop gesture into a surprising and refined design object. The ice cream seems to have crashed into the wall, but what truly strikes is its velvety surface, soft to look at and capable of catching light in a unique way.

The work is made in bioplastic using 3D technology, a plant-based material chosen for its sustainability and for its ability to achieve precise and light forms. After printing, every piece is entirely finished by hand through a long process of puttying, smoothing, and polishing. The surface is then coated with a VIOLET velvet-effect flocking, giving it color depth, gently absorbing light, and creating an elegant contrast with the bioplastic cone and real wood, also handcrafted.

The velvet effect is what makes this version particularly scenographic: the matte, fluffy texture creates a play of shadows and reflections that changes depending on the lighting, turning the piece into a refined focal point that is at once ironic. It’s pop, but with an unexpected touch of elegance.

Wall mounting is done via rear holes designed for fixing.
The dimensions are approximately 43 × 29 × 26 cm.

KIRAS’s philosophy is based on using simple, environmentally friendly materials, without sacrificing strong aesthetic impact. Each sculpture is personally made by the artist, who oversees all stages of production. For this reason, the editions are always extremely limited: this edition consists of 50 pieces, making each piece rare and highly collectible. The work is signed and numbered, accompanied by an authenticity certificate and a KIRAS-branded box.

Being a handcrafted process, minor irregularities are a natural part of the manual work. The piece is intended for indoor environments; it is advised to avoid heat sources and to clean exclusively with a soft cloth or a delicate brush to preserve the velvet effect.

KIRAS exhibits in Italian and international galleries and regularly participates in contemporary art fairs such as ART3F, ArtePadova, ArtParma Fair, and other industry events.

Ideal placement:
“GELATO – SPLASH! VELVET VIOLET” is perfect for modern, bright spaces where the velvet texture can dialogue with natural light or targeted lighting. It lends itself magnificently to design entrances, minimalist living rooms, contemporary kitchens, or creative studios. Its scenographic presence adds an elegant pop touch, capable of surprising without ever feeling excessive.
