About the artwork
Heart of Gold is one of Alessandro Paglia’s most distinctive contemporary pop pieces, transforming the beloved Snoopy character into a gleaming gold skeletal figure holding a heart-shaped balloon. The result is playful yet striking—an unexpected blend of nostalgia, design and sculptural presence.
Paglia’s meticulous technique and eye for surface detail give the work a luxurious finish. The metallic effect catches the light beautifully, creating depth and movement across the embossed paper. Rather than feeling dark or macabre, the skeletal form suggests inner character and resilience—a literal “heart of gold” beneath the familiar silhouette.
Highly sought after within the edition of 195, this piece has become a favourite among collectors of contemporary pop and design-led art. Its bold visual impact makes it a standout feature in modern interiors, where it adds both humour and sophistication.
