Title: “The Dreamer” Mixed media on Sand Grain paper — watercolour, ink, marker and crayon on natural-toned 160g/m² paper. 21 × 29 cm / 8.3 × 11.7 in A black panther lunges across a sun-scorched desert, caught between two impossible worlds — the dry, cactus-dotted land above and churning, fish-filled waters below. A ghostly human figure lingers in the background, half-present, half-forgotten. Opposing arrows cut through the warm ochre sky, pulling the dreamer in every direction at once. The layered mixed media technique gives the piece a raw, textural energy — resists bleed into watercolour washes, white gestural marks crackle across the surface like static, like thought. A meditation on the unconscious mind — where desert meets ocean, predator meets stillness, and the waking world dissolves.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Painting sold by artist directly. Henrique MAPS (1994) is a contemporary visual artist working in painting and mixed media. His work combines figurative and abstract elements to explore identity, social structures, and cultural observation through bold compositions featuring humans, animals, and symbolic imagery. Working primarily with acrylics, chinese ink, drawing, and collage on canvas, MAPS creates psychologically charged paintings characterized by layered textures, graphic elements, and recurring motifs of eyes, hands, and silhouettes. His culturally conscious practice examines contemporary social dynamics while drawing inspiration from diverse artistic traditions including urban art, modernism, and expressionism.
