Voyage Fantastique 2014

"Voyage Fantastique" (2014) by Carlos Sablón is a surreal painting depicting a fantastical airship soaring over a landscape. The airship's balloon is composed of dozens of human faces, creating a sense of otherworldly wonder and a touch of the macabre. The ship itself is a hybrid of a traditional sailing vessel and a dirigible, with red, flame-like appendages extending from its base. The artist's signature blend of realism and fantasy is evident in the detailed landscape, which contrasts with the surreal elements of the airship. This artwork is a captivating example of Sablón's ability to conjure unique and visually striking scenes, blending elements of mythology, science fiction, and everyday life.
