Deep Rivers above the Sun - Shirley Villavincenzio Pizango

Step into a work of art. These unique bouncy castles were designed by Shirley Villavicencio Pizango, who drew inspiration from the vases and recognisable fish motifs that appear in her still-life paintings.

In her work, Shirley challenges traditional standards of beauty and advocates for a more inclusive art world with space for diverse voices. With this design, she brings her artistic universe to life in a playful, tangible way. Take off your shoes, jump around and find out what it feels like to move through a painting.

More about the designer

Shirley Villavicencio Pizango brings together her childhood in Peru and her life in Ghent through her work. She paints colourful, expressionist portraits of family, friends and strangers, surrounded by lush greenery and references to Inca culture. Her style feels both free and folkloric, while retaining a subtle sense of sensitivity.
