The Art of Rising: The Emotional and Spiritual Universe of Volare

The Volare Collection was born from a profound desire to lift the soul, to remind us that the human spirit is not bound to the weight of the world but is always searching for a way to rise. In these paintings, Rosana Auqué transforms balloons—one of the most powerful and recurring symbols in her artistic language—into vessels of inner ascension. They do not float aimlessly; instead, they travel through emotional skies, weave through liquid clouds, and glide across horizons that breathe color, hope, and silent movement. Every brushstroke carries intention. Every vibration of pigment suggests energy, reminding us that the human spirit always finds a path upward, even when life feels heavy.

Here, the balloon is not a playful object—it is a container of soul. It represents a fragile yet luminous interiority, the delicate space where emotions, memories, and dreams coexist. Its lightness is not naivety but an act of courage: a visual manifesto that rising above fear, doubt, or uncertainty is one of the deepest human impulses. In this collection, levity becomes a form of resistance, and beauty becomes a way to stay alive in a world that often forgets its own capacity for wonder.

The landscapes in Volare mirror this spiritual intention. Rosana blends dreamlike terrains, cosmic atmospheres, and fluid horizons that pulse with life. Her colors are not chosen for aesthetics alone—they are energetic fields, emotional codes, portals into different states of being. Hues of pink and gold carry joy and warmth; deep blues evoke introspection; soft greens and violets suggest harmony, transformation, and rebirth. Through these combinations, she creates a universe where the invisible becomes tangible and where the spiritual intertwines gently, yet powerfully, with the sensual.

This collection also reflects Rosana’s essential philosophy: joy as momentum, color as energy, and movement as a declaration of life. Her work reminds us that even the simplest symbol—a balloon—is capable of holding a profound emotional world. In some paintings, a single balloon crosses a quiet sky, suggesting solitude, reflection, and the intimate journey of one soul navigating its own inner landscapes. In others, dozens ascend together, forming constellations of light and motion. These scenes evoke the beauty of community, the comfort of connection, and the idea that hope multiplies when shared.

Volare is both intimate and expansive. It invites the viewer into a contemplative space while simultaneously offering an uplifting emotional experience. It is a collection created not only to be seen but to be felt—to resonate softly at first, and then deeply, as one realizes that each piece is an invitation to reconnect with one’s own ability to rise. The viewer is not a passive observer; they become part of the movement, part of the ascent, part of the quiet celebration that each painting embodies.

The universal resonance of this message is reflected in the journey of the artworks themselves. Many pieces from the Volare Collection are now part of private collections in Italy, New York, and Colombia, carried into homes and spaces where their emotional and spiritual light continues to expand. Their presence across cultures is a testament to the truth at the heart of Rosana’s work:
we are all balloons full of soul—fragile, luminous, and endlessly capable of rising.
