“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 redesigned bill with Ferrari references symbolizes success, ambition and fascination with the world of Italian supercars. The crumpled banknotes create intentional visual tension, as if money had been consumed in a constant pursuit of speed, luxury and ever-higher goals.
Completely handmade in France by Cartist, this work blends street art aesthetics and premium automotive culture. The minimalist approach of deep black contrasts with the golden details and pinkish nuances of the banknotes, giving the piece an elegant and contemporary visual presence.
Through DREAMS ARE EXPENSIVE., Cartist subverts the codes of luxury and success to create a work that is both ironic, provocative and inspiring.
Who is Cartist?
Born from the fusion of contemporary art and automotive passion, Cartist creates unique works blending paintings, sculptures and installations around the world of luxury and supercars. Each piece combines iconic design and 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 classic painting heritage (van Gogh, Munch, Michelangelo, Monet, David).
The Cartist universe revolves around brands and myths that shape our imagination:
Automotive: 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 & consumption: Nike (Air Jordan), Adidas (Stan Smith), Vans, Converse, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Red Bull, Dollar, Bitcoin, Ethereum.
Whether as an exceptional gift, exclusive decoration or to enrich a collection of urban and automotive art, Cartist’s works embody a hybrid art between street art, pop art and mechanical art, where urban irony meets fascination with luxury and speed.
