The union of street skateboarding architecture, scenographic realism, and a passion for fingerboarding. This functional scale model faithfully recreates the legendary Creamy skatepark, originally designed by skateboarder Pedro Barros, transforming memories and urban culture experiences into a solid, interactive, and inclusive work of art.
The project was born from daily life at Creamy, a community gathering space where skateboarding and urban art coexist. After years of traditional skateboarding and reigniting a passion for fingerboarding, the artist carried out a meticulous photographic and dimensional mapping of the location.
The purpose was twofold: to honor the layout designed by Olympic skateboarder Pedro Barros and to democratize the experience, allowing collectors, enthusiasts, and individuals who cannot ride a real skateboard to experience the thrill of skating through a tactile, functional replica.
Molded entirely by hand in concrete with internal iron reinforcements, ensuring maximum strength, weight, and impact resistance.
Perfectly scaled transitions equipped with iron coping tubes provide authentic grinding and acoustic feedback for fingerboard tricks. Meticulous hand painted replicas of the original murals, tags, bear artwork, and local logos.
Treated slatted wood backdrops, scaled foliage, miniature spray cans, and a hand threaded basketball backboard.
