« DREAMS ARE EXPENSIVE. »
A few simple words that sum up an obsession: turning dreams into reality, whatever the price.

At the center of the composition, a banknote reimagined with Ferrari references symbolizes success, ambition and fascination with the world of Italian supercars. The crumpled banknotes create a deliberate visual tension, as if the money had been consumed in a perpetual quest for speed, luxury and ever-higher goals.

Entirely handmade in France by Cartist, this work blends street art aesthetics with premium automotive culture. The minimalist approach of deep black contrasts with the gold details and the pinkish tones of the banknotes, giving the piece an elegant and contemporary visual presence.

Through DREAMS ARE EXPENSIVE., Cartist reengineers the codes of luxury and success to create a work that is at once ironic, provocative and inspiring.

Who is Cartist?

Born from the fusion of contemporary art and a passion for cars, Cartist creates unique works blending paintings, sculptures and installations around the world of luxury and supercars. Each piece combines iconic design with strong cultural references, using noble materials such as carbon fiber, metal, car keys or premium art prints.

Cartist draws inspiration from the greatest artists and movements: Banksy, Warhol, Basquiat, Keith Haring, Koons, Orlinski, Takashi Murakami, Kaws, Mr. Brainwash, Shepard Fairey, Richard Hamilton, Yayoi Kusama, Alec Monopoly, Pantone, Blek le Rat, but also from classical pictorial heritage (Van Gogh, Munch, Michelangelo, Monet, David).

The Cartist universe revolves around brands and myths that shape our imagination:

Automobile: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bugatti, Maserati, Pagani, McLaren, BMW, Mercedes, AMG, Audi, Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls Royce.

Watchmaking and luxury: Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Cartier, Omega, Hublot.

Fashion and haute couture: Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Hermès, Prada, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL), Balenciaga, Off-White, Supreme.

Pop culture and entertainment: Marvel, Avengers, Batman, Joker, Superman, Disney, Mickey, Scrooge McDuck, Lego, Nintendo, Pokémon, Sega.

Lifestyle & consumer goods: Nike (Air Jordan), Adidas (Stan Smith), Vans, Converse, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Red Bull, Dollar, Bitcoin, Ethereum.

Whether as a gift of exceptional value, an exclusive decoration or to enhance an urban art and automotive collection, Cartist’s works embody a hybrid art that fuses street art, pop art and mechanical art, where urban irony meets a fascination with luxury and speed.
