Heart Balloons - Paintings

Selected works from our January 2026 series

Interior, Balloon, by Julio Panisello Huguet, julio.roofless@gmail.com

Heart Balloons is our January 2026 painting collection. The series features a single Mylar heart-shaped balloon after a celebration: deflated, suspended, or trapped against a ceiling, no longer performing its original function. The works reflect on the emotional residue left in the aftermath of a celebrated event.
