Dimensions: 195 x 130 cm.

The tightrope walker, by Gervasio Gallardo, unfolds a dreamlike universe where the everyday becomes extraordinary. The female figure advances on a rope in impossible balance between urban architecture and the night sky, crowned by a lit cake that suggests both celebration and fragility. The visual language, meticulous and poetic, mixes symbolism, subtle humor, and an aesthetic close to surrealism, inviting the viewer to explore layers of meaning: desire, risk, ritual, and the tension between control and vertigo.

This museum-quality piece dialogues with the surrealist tradition and reinterprets it with contemporary sensibility, ideal for collections seeking iconic pieces with high symbolic content.
