Matteo Cibic is renowned for his innovative fusion of contemporary fine art and popular culture. Within his artistic repertoire, he has crafted a unique bestiary iconography featuring characters like Donky and Luky Dog, which he imbues with elements from both ancient Roman heritage and modern pop culture. The outcome is a vibrant and striking body of work manifested through paintings and sculptures.

In 2007, Cibic established Paradiso Dreams, a collection of characters aimed at unveiling the longing for a new, idyllic, dream-like world filled with happiness. Leveraging the recognizable aesthetics of cartoons and ancient zoomorphic deities, the artist produces pieces that exude an air of inclusivity and accessibility, all the while critiquing the ubiquity and lack of specificity in consumer products. Staying true to this vision, Paradiso Dreams has engaged in collaborations with prominent entities such as Rossana Orlandi Gallery, Mint London, Lane Crawford and Starbucks Reserve, further extending its impact and reach.
