La Catrina: A Tribute to Color, Tradition, and Life


La Catrina: Un homenaje al color, la tradición y la vida

When air becomes art, every balloon transforms into emotion, and every detail tells a story. “The Catrina was born as a tribute to the Day of the Dead,” says Seby Cosentino, Sempertex Master Balloon Professional, who found in this figure a way to honor the color, tradition, and creativity that make this celebration so meaningful.

Creating this sculpture was an extraordinary experience — a journey of artistic and personal growth that brought together technique, emotion, and passion for the art of balloons. Every curve, every combination of color and texture was designed to pay homage to Mexican culture through the sensitivity and artistry of balloon design.

A special thanks to Balloon Fantasy – Official Sempertex Distributor in Italy, who believed in the project and supported it as a sponsor. Their trust made it possible to bring this piece to life, a work that represents not only a cultural symbol but also a testament to dedication toward an art form capable of moving people.

Sempertex balloons were the true stars: materials of the highest quality, with an impeccable color range and exceptional finish, perfect for expressing every nuance of this monumental creation. Thanks to their excellence, each shape came to life with precision, elegance, and vibrant color.

Our Catrina is a breath of art that celebrates life, memory, and creativity — a work that speaks of technique, emotion, and professional pride.
