Driving the Dream is a handmade painting on Canson paper by Bern Foster portrays a vibrant and evocative scene characterized by a striking azure sports car cruising along a coastal highway. Dominating the foreground, the car exhibits sleek lines and a polished finish, encapsulating the essence of modern automotive elegance and engineering prowess.
Its vivid blue hue harmoniously contrasts with the brilliant background that stretches infinitely under a gradient sky, transitioning from deep blue to electric cerulean.
The exquisite background showcases a pristine beachscape where tall, slender palm trees sway gracefully, their fronds fluttering against the influential ocean breeze.
The detailed depiction of the palms provides both movement and realism, contributing to the dynamic feel of the piece.
Just beyond the beach, the serene expanse of the turquoise sea gently meets the golden sands, creating a seamless blend of natural beauty and coastal allure.
This juxtaposition of the sophisticated car with the tranquil, picturesque seaside setting encapsulates a sense of freedom, luxury, and adventure.
The artwork’s palette, rich with varying shades of blue, captures the viewer's imagination and transports them to a sunlit paradise marked by relaxation and exhilaration.
Meticulously rendered, the composition demonstrates a masterful balance between man-made precision and the untamed charm of nature, making it an undeniably captivating and aspirational visual experience.

About Bern Foster
Hailing from the beaches of the south of Spain, Bern Foster, is a multi-disciplinary international illustrator recognized for his retro and vibrant aesthetic.
His art immediately get you to nostalgia, using aesthetics as his greatest strength and the seductive allure of capitalism as a source of inspiration. Bern has always thought that it was his childhood memories, such as TV ads from late 80’s, movies, and music that inspired him to use his style and aesthetic.
“Sometimes, I am listening music which inspires me to think about my next illustration, or I am painting an illustration that makes me think about an specific song, it’s like if my art and music are connected to each other, like in a TV ad”, says Bern.
Despite being passionate about illustration, Bern started working as a Design engineer in 2012, and a year later he decided to finance his art with the money he earned as an engineer, until the hobby of illustrator became a real profession.
He never attended a single art class, as he learned with his own discipline, adopting techniques and influences from other illustrators such as Bob Peak, Masao Saito, Hajime Sorayama, Hiroshi Nagai, or Eizin Suzuki.
He made his first commissions between 2013 and 2015, for small private clients and independent fashion brands, also album covers and promotional content for social media. However, was Bern’s personal portfolio what attracted potential clients in the fashion and music industry, as he always painted for himself in his spare time when he wasn’t working for a client.
Was through his personal projects that he experimented with different techniques until he found his own style.
In 2019, Bern started working for the fashion industry, collaborating with exclusive brands such as Nude Project, Reina Olga Beachwear, or Filippa K. Selected clients: Nude Project, Warner Records, Reina Olga Beachwear, Eglaf, Dunne Brand, TWRP Band, Mayol Jewelry, Filippa K, Beast in Black, Tayrell Music, CRMEN fashion book Magazine, ASBS Magazine, Rebelión Galactica Magazine, Reflective Desire Studio, Avant Garde Records, Beast in Black Band, Northstar Studios, Davinci´s Dream.
