Piece description from the artist
This artwork evokes a nostalgic journey through America’s golden age of road trips, celebrating the charm of mid-century gas stations and classic cars. Set against the iconic Phillips 66 signage and the red Pegasus, the piece captures a moment of timeless Americana, where small-town pit stops held stories of adventure and possibility. The vintage coupe, parked with a quiet elegance, invites viewers to imagine themselves pausing here, refueling both car and spirit as they head westward toward freedom and discovery. A tribute to simpler times, it combines elements of wanderlust and retro allure to inspire a sense of both longing and joy.
