Artist Creates Incredible Balloon Art Displays That Will Pop Your Expectations!
You’re probably familiar with the concept of balloon displays, but this artist’s whimsical installations are like nothing you’ve ever seen before! Meet Sergei Shevchenko, a creator who makes awe-worthy inflatable sculptures. You won’t believe what this man can do with balloons! Despite his highly poppable medium, Sergei manages to put together surprisingly detailed and complex structures.
On Instagram, this balloon artist sometimes posts time-lapse videos of his creative process. Sergei often begins with a pile of uninflated materials, which he quickly transforms into a massive sculpture. For example, in the video below, the creator demonstrated how he formed the face of an elderly man with long, white facial hair. Made entirely of balloons in different shapes and sizes — right down to the character’s hairy eyebrows — the finished product is astounding!

To create the head, the talented artist began with a large cluster of simple, round balloons. Then, he began layering different shapes over the structure to create the nose, cheeks, mouth, and more. One of the most impressive features was the figure’s huge beard, which Sergei made using long, narrow balloons to form the hairs. It must have taken quite some time to put this amazing display together!
Some of Sergei’s balloon art is wearable.
This balloon artist doesn’t just make stationary installations. As the creator himself has demonstrated, some of these displays can be worn like costumes! In another video, Sergei brought a popular cartoon character to life by dancing around in a giant, inflatable suit made entirely of balloons. This clip has received over ten million views online!

According to an Instagram post from Kalam’s World Records, Sergei also became the record holder for creating “the biggest balloon idol.” This display contained 300,000 balloons. That’s pretty impressive!
