“"I had never painted before, but the atmosphere was so playful and creative that, somehow, I created a piece that now hangs proudly in my home."
Splatter rooms are spaces where paint is thrown, splashed, and hit instead of being applied with a brush, and they have been seen in various cities for some time. Now they have also arrived in Barcelona. On Carrer del Concili de Trento, in El Clot, SplashPlay offers a playful art workshop designed so that no one has to worry about whether they know how to paint or not.
Beyond the splash
What sets SplashPlay apart is that it doesn't limit itself to a single gesture. Its main activity, Splash, combines different techniques on the canvas: padel balls dipped in paint, color-filled balloons that burst, water guns, and even boxing gloves for painting with punches. Participants are given protective gear so they can dive into the activity without worrying about getting dirty.
Those who prefer a more relaxed pace can choose Pouring, a calmer option where paint is poured, the canvas is rotated, and the colors are allowed to create organic patterns.
All sessions are guided, from start to finish. The guide explains the techniques, suggests ideas, and creates a playful atmosphere that encourages even those who have never held a brush to experiment.

A painting to hang at home
The Splash method aims for two goals simultaneously: having fun, which is an essential part of the experience, and ending up with a genuine abstract artwork to hang on the wall. The result is not a purchased piece, but a personal creation that holds the energy and touch of everyone who participated. This is why many clients keep it as a memento of their shared time.
A gift for your loved ones
SplashPlay also works as a gift. One client, an adult, decided to gift the experience to his parents and go painting with them. He summarized it with a phrase: his father loves to paint, and his mother loves to do crazy things. According to him, the studio combined both perfectly.
This mix is the key to the offering. On one hand, it allows space for the inner child in all of us to play and try new things, which is very important for adults and older people. On the other hand, it allows for the creation of a personal artwork, and the session ends with a painting made together.
Those who wish to give it as a gift can purchase a gift card online. The recipient can then book a private session whenever they wish, within the following six months.

For families, couples, and friends
The studio welcomes all types of audiences. Families with children aged 6 and up are welcome in a space designed for them and alcohol-free: only soft drinks, water, and lemonade are served. Couples can find a unique date idea, and groups of friends can enjoy an original plan to celebrate a special occasion.
There are two ways to book. The first is a private session, which can be booked quickly online and reserves the studio exclusively for the group. The second is to join an open session with other people, in small groups of up to 6 participants.
