Eleven artworks for the Estrella Damm World Padel Tour, 2013–2014 season, with art direction by Ruiz+company in Barcelona.
They ran across the tour’s campaign, from posters to the banners of the Masters Finals.
How do you draw the speed of padel?
With planes instead of outlines. Padel is played in doubles inside a glass-walled court, and the ball stays in play after it comes off the walls, so a rally is a chain of fast changes of direction. We cut each player, racket and ball into flat fields of colour. The eye joins the fragments back into a figure in motion, the way it follows a rally too fast to see whole.
4,969 new padel clubs opened in 2025, and the world count passed 20,900 clubs and 58,300 courts (Playtomic Global Padel Report 2026). A new club, a tour stop or a racket launch needs images of its own. We make them from the club’s players, colours and courts, for lounges, court walls, posters and campaigns.
