María Magán, Cherry Bubble, Oil Painting, 2022

Cherry Bubble, a contemporary pop oil painting by María Magán, exemplifies our commitment to bold, intelligent, and sensual abstraction. This pink condom painting, executed in luminous oil on canvas, transforms the intimate and disposable into an elegant visual metaphor—part bubblegum, part body, part sculptural form. Its glossy surface, photorealistic execution, and soft erotic tension position it within the most refined traditions of conceptual pop art, while inviting collectors who are drawn to feminist practices, pleasure aesthetics, and works that challenge the boundary between intimacy and objecthood. We guide each client with personal attention and professionalism, ensuring satisfaction throughout the acquisition process. Painted with meticulous technical control, Cherry Bubble demonstrates María Magán’s command of light, volume, and surface modulation. The painting’s monochrome palette, developed in rich cherry pink tones, enhances the illusion of inflated softness while emphasizing the physicality and sensual quality of the form. The latex-like membrane is rendered with photorealistic detail, capturing soft gradients, reflective highlights, and the tension of suspended air. The white background provides compositional clarity and contrast, allowing the object to appear almost weightless and icon-like. Part of the artist’s Chicles series, this painting plays with the visual codes of pop culture and erotic symbolism, recontextualizing prophylactic materials as sculptural, humorous, and strangely tender. Magán’s work reclaims objects often dismissed or hidden and reintroduces them as aesthetic artifacts—sensuous, ambiguous, and conceptually rich. Cherry Bubble is a clear example of how painting can challenge cultural assumptions while maintaining visual elegance and technical excellence. This original oil painting is ideal for collectors interested in pop conceptualism, queer and feminist visual discourse, or sensual abstraction. Its scale makes it suitable for focused installations, curated interiors, or institutional collections looking to expand on themes of gender, taste, and material transformation.
