Description from the seller

DREAMS ARE EXPENSIVE.

28 x 23 x 6 cm

Wood frame, high-quality synthetic glass.

Limited edition 01/05

Catawiki Exclusive

« DREAMS ARE EXPENSIVE. »
A few simple words that summarize an entire obsession: turning dreams into reality, no matter the price.

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

Fully handmade in France by Cartist, this work blends street-art aesthetics with premium automotive culture. The minimalist approach of deep black contrasts with the golden details and pinkish nuances of the notes, giving the piece an elegant and contemporary visual presence.

Through DREAMS ARE EXPENSIVE., Cartist reinterprets 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 automobiles, 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, and 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 painting heritage (Van Gogh, Munch, Michelangelo, Monet, David).

The Cartist universe centers on brands and myths that shape our imagination:

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

Watches 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 distinction, an exclusive decoration, or to enrich an urban art and automotive collection, Cartist works embody hybrid art between street art, pop art, and mechanical art, where urban irony meets a fascination with luxury and speed.
