Urban Dream by David Gerstein is a joyful expression of love, movement, and imagination in the heart of the city.

David Gerstein’s Urban Dream is a playful and captivating wall sculpture that brings a burst of color and life into any space. Blending everyday city life with whimsical fantasy, this piece features a young couple riding a scooter, carefree and connected, as a vivid cloud of butterflies swirls above them like a dream in motion.

Rendered in sleek black line work, the couple embodies a sense of youthful energy and modern romance. Their dynamic pose and casual style suggest a moment of shared adventure—a pause in the rush of urban life where love and exploration intersect.

Above them, Gerstein’s signature explosion of hand-painted butterflies creates a striking contrast. Each butterfly is uniquely vibrant, forming a colorful canopy that lifts the scene into the realm of fantasy. These butterflies symbolize transformation, freedom, and the fleeting beauty of the moment—turning an everyday ride into a poetic journey.

Crafted from laser-cut metal and layered for depth, Urban Dream casts delicate shadows that enhance its three-dimensional presence on the wall. The piece feels alive, constantly shifting as the light changes, engaging the viewer from every angle.

Both uplifting and thought-provoking, Urban Dream is a celebration of imagination, connection, and the little moments that make life extraordinary. It’s perfect for those who see the world not just as it is—but as it could be.

David Gerstein – Master of multilayer sculptures

In David Gerstein’s multi-layered works of art, the boundary between the two-dimensionality of painting and the three-dimensionality of sculpture becomes blurred. The works of David Gerstein captivate above all by their lively colorfulness. Most often, the human being in motion is found as the central theme of his sculptures and objects and as a point of departure. Tourists on 5th Avenue, marathon runners, bicyclists, roller coasters or dancing butterflies make the viewer virtually swing along. Meanwhile, the steel sculptures are cut out using laser technology. To ensure that the sculptures give pleasure for a long time, especially in the outdoor area, they are painted with Standohyd Plus a special varnish recommended for automotive repairs from the Standox company in Germany. Countless details that allow the subject to explore and explore again and again round out his objects, which in recent years have experienced a solid price development.
