“Merry Melodies” was a Cartoon Network program that showcased cartoon series from the 1930s to the 1960s (the so-called classics). In the 1990s, Cartoon Network was the children's channel watched on old televisions without remote controls, filling the mornings and afternoons of children of the time with fantastical images, characters, and scenes. Merry Melodies depicted psychedelic imaginary worlds, humorous situations that essentially make people laugh, or parodies of everyday life. Similarly, the channels made an effort to feature the most popular characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Dug, and Porky Pig, among other characters from the “Merry Melodies” universe. This world, filled with characters and stories, simultaneously competed with the new cartoons broadcast on other channels of the time, such as Nickelodeon, Fox Kids, and Discovery Kids, driven by the arrival of cable, the widespread use of television, and the globalization Chile was experiencing at the time.

These new cartoons allowed us to see the rest of the world through the debates and imagery of the last decade of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, which transcended the return to democracy and the economic liberalization that had been imposed on the country. In this context, Japanese series such as Doraemon and Ranma 1/2, as well as American cartoons such as Hey Arnold, Rugrat, and The Grumpy Beaver, arrived from other parts of the world. These different series and universes planted a world of ideas, colors, and references in Boris Obregón's mind, nourished at the same time by what was happening off the television screen and later served as an inspiration in the artist's visual work. The above refers to the fact that Chile has a long tradition of political muralism, represented in the work of the Ramona Parra Brigade, which, to a certain extent, returned with the return of democracy. The slogans of the popular struggle are captured on walls through the use of strong colors and harsh black borders.

And so, as the opening theme of The Powerpuff Girls says, "These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl, but Professor Utonium added another ingredient to the formula: substance X, and Boom!" Like an explosion, Boris Obregón's paintings explode onto the canvas. A universe spills out toward the edges of the painting, with birds riding on cars, clouds with eyes, characters with fish tongues, and countless chapters, characters, and imagery that construct a worldview and a way of painting that is very unusual in Chile.

While it is true that Boris does not consciously paint in a specific art form or movement (which makes it difficult to categorize him), it can be observed that in this near miss to create "the most beautiful painting in the world," the lines between mass production and craftsmanship; between fine art and commercial art; between great painting and popular painting are blurred. In this way, Boris creates his own pop art, which would be an unintentional interpretation of what would be American pop art (comics), French free figuration (politics), and Japanese superflat (characters), since certain values ​​and principles of the pop art movement are adopted and which represent in Boris an encounter between these different traditions, where the artist can speak and express his own ideas and emotions, so much so that sounds, letters, and conversations come out of the mouths of his characters that can be heard just by looking.
