About the Item
Salt Balloon I is a framed contemporary oil painting by María Magán that depicts an inflated transparent condom rendered in high detail, hovering against a solid black background. Part of the Chicles series, this small-format painting explores form, light, and ambiguity through an object both intimate and ephemeral. The translucent membrane is captured mid-air, its delicate curves reflecting soft highlights that give the illusion of suspended weight and subtle tension.
Magán’s meticulous oil technique creates a trompe-l’œil effect that blurs the line between object and image. The piece transforms a culturally loaded material into a symbolic form, offering a refined interplay between erotic suggestion and minimalist composition. The black ground intensifies the sensation of isolation, allowing the object to become almost sculptural—part balloon, part body, part void.
As with the broader Chicles project, Salt Balloon I recontextualizes disposable objects as aesthetic matter, inviting reflection on the boundaries between desire, discomfort, and transformation. The work is particularly suited for collectors of contemporary painting, symbolic abstraction, or artworks that combine conceptual clarity with visual restraint.
