DREAMS IV - Colorful Painting by Nelson Neves

Neves, Nelson

This acrylic painting by Nelson Neves is an energetic composition that blends figurative and abstract elements. It features a whimsical pink rabbit with large, expressive eyes, dressed in a jacket and scarf, riding a stylized bird with striking, angular features. A tiger-like creature and a radiant, human-like sun further enhance the dreamlike quality of the scene. The background is a vibrant explosion of bold colors, jagged lines, and dynamic brushstrokes, creating movement and depth.

This painting embodies Neves’ signature style, influenced by African and European cultural elements. It reflects themes of imagination, freedom, and playfulness, aligning with his artistic vision of promoting joy, diversity, and creative expression through art.
