About the Item
In the realm where the conscious meets the ethereal, where the boundaries of reality dissolve into the kaleidoscope of possibility, lies the concept of a "Wild Dream." This is not just a figment of our imagination but a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of ambition, desire, and unbridled creativity. Every wild dream is an untamed creature, bursting with life and energy, fueled by passion and purpose. It can take many forms: a fantastical journey across uncharted lands, a daring venture into the depths of the human experience, or a creation that ignites the souls of those who encounter it.
Each wild dream holds within it the potential to reshape our reality and inspire others to unleash their hidden visions. So let us celebrate these wild dreams, for they are the sparks that light the fuse of innovation and the wind that fills the sails of our courage. As we dare to dream wildly, we invite a symphony of colors and sensations into our lives, reminding us that the true canvas of existence is both vast and vibrant. In embracing our wildest dreams, we honor the artistry of being human, ever evolving, ever dreaming and forever reaching for the sublime.

View AllRay of Hope
By Alogi John
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Ray of Hope" presents a compelling visual narrative that captures the viewer's attention with its elegant simplicity and emotive composition.

The painting's colors, a delicate blend of cool and warm tones, add a sense of depth and richness, further enhancing the artwork's emotional impact.
The lady's introspective pose and piercing gaze offer a profound glimpse into the human experience. With her hands gently cradling her face, she exudes a sense of vulnerability and introspection, as if lost in her own thoughts and dreams. The flowing braided hair adds an element of timelessness and femininity, while also symbolizing the fluidity and interconnectedness of one's hopes and aspirations.

Amoureuses by Grégoire Mathias — Acrylic — Bold Cubist Portrait of Two Women
Located in PÉRIGUEUX, FR
Amoureuses (Women in Love)
Acrylic on Canvas
41 x 33 cm
In Amoureuses, Greg Mathias delivers an emotionally charged dual portrait that merges bold modernism with raw intimacy. Two female figures emerge from a tapestry of angular lines, fragmented planes, and vibrant contrasts. Black contours define and disrupt the forms, while saturated reds, yellows, and earth tones highlight the figures' lips, hair, and eyes with almost theatrical intensity.
Mathias’s Diachronic Cubism is palpable in this compact yet powerful composition. The faces appear to hold more than one emotional state or temporal expression, inviting the viewer to imagine multiple layers of affection, memory, or desire unfolding across time. The figures are both stylized and expressive—unified yet distinct—suggesting a narrative of closeness, duality, or romantic introspection.
Executed in acrylic on canvas, this smaller-format work makes an immediate impact and is well-suited for collectors of contemporary figurative cubism. It’s a standout piece for those interested in bold color palettes, emotional resonance, and distinctive portraits with modern edge.
Perfect for:
Collectors of modern figurative cubism, lovers of expressive portraiture, and buyers seeking a compact yet high-impact artwork. Ideal for interiors emphasizing bold lines, vibrant colors, and character-driven contemporary art.
