AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This piece is a vibrant tribute to the iconic 1980s and the world of Bubble Bobble, the famous video game that marked a generation. The background, inspired by colorful platforms and the original arcade aesthetic, is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Pearl paper, a premium Fine Art paper with an elegant pearlescent surface and excellent color rendering. Professional inks guaranteed for 200 years ensure bright colors, sharp details, and exceptional durability over time.

The protagonist of the work – Bub, the famous green little dragon – is crafted as a three-dimensional handcrafted mosaic, composed of 1×1 cm glass tiles laid individually by hand. Each piece adds depth, stage presence, and a unique visual impact. Small irregularities are a hallmark of the manual craftsmanship and do not represent defects.

The mosaic figure is mounted on a custom-designed 3D printed support that suspends it 1 cm from the background. This system creates a stunning depth effect and natural shadow play that enhance the three-dimensional character of the artwork. The background print is edge-free for a modern and minimalist aesthetic.

On the back of the artwork, there is the artist's signature, an embossed stamp, and a numbered, signed paper certificate that attest to its authenticity and uniqueness.

The piece features an LED positioned behind the figure, which emits a soft light designed to enhance depth without being intrusive. The lighting is activated by bringing the provided magnet closer, which interacts with the magnetic sensor connected to the replaceable battery.

Thanks to the N.I.N.A. app for iOS, you can enjoy an even more immersive experience: by scanning the artwork with the app, Bub will come to life within the app, adding movement and interactivity.

Even in the sale: ready-to-hang frame, numbered and signed authenticity certificate, snap-fit 3D printed support, LED activation magnet, protective packaging for safe transport.

Ideal piece for collectors, pop art enthusiasts, video game nostalgics, and arcade culture lovers. Perfect for adding an original, modern, and iconic touch to any environment.
