Sebastian's Dream" is a vibrant oil painting that bursts with joyful energy, blending the dynamic elements of Planar Expressionism and Cubist abstraction. At its heart is a dog, Sebastian, perched in a striking red car, happily gazing out at the world with a sense of boundless excitement. The cityscape beyond, though abstracted, is alive with color—bold strokes of magenta, turquoise, and gold, weaving together to create a mesmerizing urban scene.
Sebastian’s form, like the car and the city, is fractured and reassembled in Cubist style, yet retains its playful essence. His eyes sparkle with delight as they take in the kaleidoscope of the city’s vibrantly painted buildings, trees, and streets. The colors of the city flow together in expressive swirls, creating a dream-like sense of movement and freedom, as though the city itself pulses in tune with Sebastian's joy.
The contrast between the solid, angular forms of the red car and the fluid, colorful cityscape evokes a sense of dynamic motion, while the dog’s happy expression anchors the painting in a moment of pure joy. Every brushstroke adds to the rhythmic energy, transforming the everyday scene of a car ride into a vivid celebration of life, color, and dreams.
As with the artist’s other works, "Sebastian's Dream" is a masterful exploration of light, shape, and emotion, capturing the essence of happiness and the boundless wonder of the world as seen through the eyes of a beloved companion.
