A curation by Reka Kaloczy, Curator · Creative Consultant & Producer · Artist Mentor & Manager at - Hot air balloons appear here across a wide range of styles, from realistic depictions to imaginative and dreamlike scenes. Sometimes grounded in real landscapes and photographic perspectives, they also drift into fantasy, where scale, color, and setting become more expressive. The balloon itself remains a constant symbol of lightness, travel, and distance, while each artwork interprets it differently. Across these works, hot air balloons move between reality and imagination, connecting everyday experience with a sense of wonder and escape.
