Queer Art Sale by Berlin Artist CiccaBoom

Promotional graphic for the "Fuel for Fusion" flash sale by Berlin queer artist CiccaBoom. The image announces 20% off all artwork from June 18–21 and includes a secret bonus print with every order. Text reads: "Fuel for Fusion – Art to Dance Barefoot at Sunrise."

Fuel for Fusion: Art to Dance Barefoot at Sunrise

The countdown to Fusion has begun.

In my Berlin studio, the days are currently filled with printing, packing, cutting postcards, rolling artworks into shipping tubes, and trying to remember where I left my scissors five minutes ago. In a few days, my art and I will be heading to Fusion Festival, one of the most unique gatherings of creativity, freedom, music, and community in Europe.

As an independent queer artist based in Berlin, this feels like a big adventure.

Many of the artworks traveling with me are part of my ongoing exploration of intimacy, desire, tenderness, rebellion, and human connection. Lovers embracing, bodies resting together, moments of softness and vulnerability — the kind of images that remind us that joy, care, and pleasure can be acts of resistance.

Not everyone can make it to the festival, of course.

That’s why, before the spaceship takes off, I’m offering a small celebration for everyone supporting my work from afar.

From 18–21 June, all art in my online shop is 20% off, and every order will include a secret bonus print selected from my studio archive.

Nothing dramatic. Just a little gift from one rebel to another.

Whether you’re looking for queer art prints, feminist artwork, LGBTQIA+ wall art, or simply a piece that brings warmth, sensuality, and humanity into your space, this is a lovely moment to adopt a new artwork.

Thank you for helping independent artists continue creating, exhibiting, traveling, and sharing their work with the world.

See you somewhere between the dancefloor and the sunrise.

With love & anarchy,

CiccaBoom

Rave and Revolution

| chiaracicca


Queer Joy as Political Resistance

Rave and Revolution, a contemporary figurative painting by Berlin queer artist CiccaBoom, depicting a colourful lakeside rave with queer community, activism, music, friendship, and collective freedom.

Rave and Revolution is a new acrylic painting on paper from my ongoing Coven series.

Created in Berlin and inspired by a summer day at the lake, this piece explores the connection between queer joy, freedom, activism, and rave culture. Through bright colours, naked bodies, friendship, music, and hidden political references, it celebrates the idea that pleasure and resistance can go hand in hand.

What is Rave and Revolution about?

At first glance, Rave and Revolution looks like a carefree summer scene. Friends hanging by the water, people dancing in the distance, lovers hiding behind bushes, music floating through the air, and bodies existing without shame.

But underneath all that sunshine is a simple question: what happens when people create spaces outside the rules imposed on them?

The painting imagines a temporary world built on freedom, solidarity, self-expression, and mutual care. A world where queer people, rebels, dreamers, and activists come together not only to celebrate life, but also to challenge the systems that try to control it.
In that sense, the rave becomes more than a party. It becomes a political act.

Why is rave culture political?

Throughout history, dance floors have often served as places of refuge for communities pushed to the margins. Queer people, artists, punks, activists, and other subcultures have used music and collective celebration to create spaces where different ways of living could exist, even if only temporarily.

Rave culture carries this legacy.

A free party is not simply about entertainment. It can be a declaration of autonomy. A rejection of surveillance, conformity, shame, and social hierarchy. A reminder that community can be built through participation rather than consumption.

The people in Rave and Revolution are not escaping reality. They are experimenting with another version of it.

Queer Bodies, Freedom, and Collective Joy

A lot of my work explores intimacy, vulnerability, and the beauty of bodies living outside restrictive norms.

In Rave and Revolution, nakedness is not scandalous or provocative. It is simply natural. The figures exist comfortably with themselves, each other, and their surroundings.

The painting celebrates queer visibility, body liberation, friendship, chosen family, and the power of gathering together.

For me, queer joy is political because it refuses fear and creates community where isolation is expected.

Art, Activism, and Resistance

Hidden throughout the painting are references to anti-fascism, anti-capitalism, solidarity movements, and collective resistance.

These ideas appear alongside laughter, dancing, friendship, sex, and leisure. Because activism is not only found in protests and slogans. It is also found in how we care for each other, build communities, imagine different futures, and defend our right to joy.

The Coven Series

Rave and Revolution is part of my Coven series, a body of work exploring community, rebellion, friendship, queerness, pleasure, and collective empowerment.

The coven is not a fantasy. It is the people who choose each other, protect each other, and keep dancing despite everything.

About the Artist

CiccaBoom is a Berlin-based queer artist creating figurative paintings about LGBTQIA+ experiences, feminism, intimacy, activism, pleasure, and social change.

Through colourful narratives and unapologetically human characters, her work explores how joy, love, rebellion, and community can become acts of resistance.

Rave Riot

Six Drawings for a Dancing Revolution

Queer figures dancing freely at an underground rave, celebrating self-expression, collective joy, and rave culture in an original drawing by Berlin artist CiccaBoom.

Rave Riot is a series of six original drawings celebrating queer joy, rave culture, collective freedom, and unapologetic self-expression.

Created in Berlin, the series captures the energy of bodies in motion, glitter-covered rebels, sweaty dance floors, fleeting connections, and the temporary communities that emerge whenever people gather to dance.

Small in scale but loud in spirit, these works explore the idea that joy can be a form of resistance.

What is Rave Riot about?

Rave Riot is about the moments that happen on and around the dance floor.

The flirtation between strangers. The freedom of moving without judgment. The glitter stuck to your skin three days later. The feeling of belonging among people who refuse to fit neatly into society’s expectations.

Each drawing captures a fragment of that experience: a gesture, a look, a dance move, a moment of liberation.

Together, they form a visual love letter to queer nightlife, underground culture, and collective celebration.

What inspired Rave Riot?

The series was inspired by years spent on dance floors, at festivals, free parties, queer events, and underground gatherings.

These spaces have always been more than entertainment. There have been places where people experiment with identity, build community, challenge social norms, and imagine different ways of existing together.

The drawings emerged from a desire to capture that energy in its rawest form.

Why is dancing political?

Throughout history, dancing has often been viewed with suspicion by those in power.

People gathering freely, creating their own rules, occupying public space, and experiencing collective joy can become a powerful act of resistance.

For queer communities in particular, dance floors have long served as spaces of visibility, safety, expression, and connection.

Rave Riot celebrates that tradition.

Queer Joy and Collective Freedom

At the heart of this series is the belief that joy matters.

Not as an escape from reality, but as a way of surviving it.

The figures in these drawings are unapologetic, playful, messy, expressive, and free. They celebrate bodies, desire, movement, friendship, and chosen family.

They reject shame.

They reject conformity.

And they dance anyway.

Art, Music, and Resistance

Music has always accompanied social movements, cultural change, and collective action.

The rave is no exception.

The works in Rave Riot explore how dancing, gathering, and celebrating can become acts of cultural resistance. They reflect the belief that freedom is not only something we fight for, but something we actively practice through the communities we create.

About the Series

Rave Riot consists of six original drawings created in Berlin.

The series explores themes of queer identity, rave culture, nightlife, activism, liberation, friendship, pleasure, and collective joy.

Created as companion works to Rave and Revolution, these drawings capture the intimate moments, gestures, and emotions that emerge when music, freedom, and community collide.

About the Artist

CiccaBoom is a Berlin-based queer artist creating figurative artworks exploring LGBTQIA+ experiences, feminism, activism, intimacy, pleasure, and social change.

Through colourful, rebellious, and deeply human narratives, her work investigates how joy, community, and self-expression can become forms of resistance.

TROPICANA SPRING

| chiaracicca


A joyful act of resistance: Open Studio & Art Exhibition in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg


Spring arrives in full color, and with it, a new chapter begins.

TROPICANA SPRING is more than an event—it’s an invitation. An invitation to step into a space where art, joy, and community become a form of resistance. In a world that often feels overwhelming, choosing beauty, connection, and creative expression is a radical act.

I’m opening the doors of my new atelier in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg for the very first time, and I want you there.

This Open Studio takes shape as a special hybrid experience: an art exhibition hosted at mokumeBERLIN, alongside an intimate glimpse into my studio world. Through a magic window, you’ll be transported into my colorful, evolving space—raw, vibrant, and unapologetically alive.

For the first time ever, I will also present a complete selection of original paintings from past Open Studio events. The full rebel alien squad comes together in one place—a celebration of queer art, feminist energy, and unapologetic self-expression.

This event is rooted in everything I believe in as a Berlin-based queer artist: art as connection, art as protest, art as a tool for imagining new systems built on care, beauty, and freedom.

If you are searching for contemporary art in Berlin, LGBTQIA+ art, or a unique Open Studio experience in Prenzlauer Berg, this is for you.

Event Details
Open Studio & Art Exhibition
26–28 March 2026, 13:00–18:00
CICCABOOM studio & mokumeBERLIN, Christburger Str. 22, 10405 Berlin

Come as you are. Bring your curiosity, your softness, your fire.
Let’s welcome spring together—with color, with presence, with joy.

For this edition, the event poster was born from a joyful collab between me and mokumeBerlin.

The End of an Era: Ciccaboom Leaves Studio4 • One Last Goodbye

After six glorious, messy, caffeinated, orgasmic, art-filled years, I’m moving out of Studio4, my Berlin art studio where hundreds of original works were created.

After six glorious, messy, caffeinated, orgasmic, art-filled years, I’m moving out of Studio4, my Berlin art studio where hundreds of original works were created.

Before I go, I’m hosting one last Studio4 art sale in Berlin — a final opportunity to discover and collect original contemporary artworks directly from my studio.
ICY QUEENS WINTER is your last chance to step into this space, experience its warmth, chaos, and queer energy, and take home a piece of art created here over the past six years.

Studio Sale in Berlin — Event Details

This Berlin studio sale will include original paintings, sketches, misfits, and special works, many available at unique prices. It’s a rare chance for art collectors and art lovers to buy directly from an independent Berlin-based artist in an intimate studio setting.

After this event, my chapter at Studio4 officially comes to an end.
In February, I’ll take a short break for creation and inspiration, working behind the scenes, dreaming bigger, and preparing the next chapter.

From March, I’ll open a NEW ART STUDIO in Berlin at Christburgerstr. 22 — save the address. Fresh walls, new energy, and new queer, figurative, and revolutionary artworks are already in the making.

Leaving Studio4 is bittersweet — full of memories, growth, and lessons I won’t repeat. But it’s also exciting: a new studio, a new playground, and the freedom to push my art even further.

Come by. Laugh. Collect art. Say goodbye — or simply experience the space one last time.
ICY QUEENS WINTER is not just an art sale in Berlin; it’s a celebration of endings, beginnings, and everything in between.
