About the artwork

A red heart-shaped balloon, rendered with volumetric precision and reflective surfaces, dominates the central composition. The balloon is depicted wearing a light blue surgical face mask, positioned across its lower half. The background features a muted, textured surface that suggests a concrete wall, marked with subtle graffiti-like forms and drips in shades of gray and faint red. The overall impression is that of a three-dimensional object set against an urban backdrop, with the mask introducing a contemporary cultural reference. The artwork employs a visual metaphor, combining a universal symbol of love and affection with an object associated with public health and protection. The juxtaposition of the inflatable heart—typically a lighthearted or romantic motif—with the utilitarian face mask suggests themes of vulnerability, care, or perhaps confinement during a specific global event. The stylistic execution—with its blend of realistic rendering of the heart and mask against a street art-inspired background—positions the piece within a contemporary urban art discourse.

The artist’s market position is characterized by consistent gallery representation and auction appearances, with a record auction price reflecting investor interest in his unique works.

About the artist

Born in 1987, Onemizer is a French artist. Having spent part of his childhood in Africa, he discovered urban art on his return to France. He began his practice with mural productions before switching to canvas. Between pop references and everyday life, Onemizer works with lettering and color, while maintaining a style inspired by tags and graffiti. His first exhibitions were held in Bordeaux and Paris. His art soon became international, and his canvases were exhibited in numerous galleries around the world (Street Art Gallery in Dubai, Go Gallery in Amsterdam, etc.). In 2014, along with a hundred other artists, he took part in the world record for the largest graffiti on canvas, now in the Guinness Book of Records.
