Yellow is the color that demands the most courage from my brush. I apply it to Mr Roo first, then comes the energy of red, and when the two stand side by side, something like a stadium opens up in my studio. When I pick up the composite it is cold, but as I work it warms in my palm, just like that old, never-fading love for a team. With every layer, a shout of joy left over from my childhood is heard again.
Every detail I worked into Mr Roo has a meaning: the names of players stretching from the team's history to today, goal counts, slogans, symbols, unforgettable dates. I write them one by one, patiently. Because this is not a jersey. It is a sense of belonging passed from generation to generation, a quiet archive of passion. When the sculpture is finished, it carries the entire story on itself, just like the memory of a supporter.
This piece, 45 x 30 x 30 cm, was painted entirely by hand and signed. It belongs to a limited series, a single piece, each one unique in its own right. With its pop-art lines and soccer ball motif, it is made to bring both color and joy to your living room or workspace.
A team lives not only on the pitch but in millions of hearts. While making Mr Roo, I held one of those hearts in my hands, and now it is ready to share with you.
We'll get back to you personally, usually within one to two business days.
