LISTEN TO THE AUDIO ABOUT THIS ARTWORK

[ays_poll id=268]

I am Yihong, a balloon artist and a hat maker based on Florence. My balloon art always connects with the nature, as I considered myself as a Flâneur to explore the uniqueness of a little happiness in modern society. I am fascinated by the combination of my balloon art works with my hat projects which creates a unique mixture of pop art feeling. However, some balloon sculptures seem very conceptual as some of the photographs very melancholic, in which creates a peculiar atmosphere in the context of the contemporary art.
