Sakti Burman’s Dreamscapes
IMPORTANT WORKS SOLD IN PAST AUCTIONS
Often called an ‘Alchemist of
Dreams’, Sakti Burman creates

a realm of fantasy or dream-like
universe inhibited by strange
fantastical figures in luxuriant

this world melds empirical
experiences and imagination. Covers of the
Rendered with hues that are publications
at once vivid and faded, the with the
captivating luminescent imagery work illustrated
evokes a sense of mythical
pantomime theatre where the
characters, with their spellbound
gazes, are reminiscent of angels,
and goddesses, harlequins,
and dryads.
