Ramirez pushed his color range and textural approach in Unicorn Dream. The high contrast and off-putting colors of the cliffs and sky clash with the soft pastels of the unicorn. The unicorn dreams of trading in his horn for wings, of moving into the world of the strong and bold sky and leaving the others to prance in the soft green meadows. The grass may be greener, but the sky is bluer! Does Ramirez suggest striving for more or simply being who we are? Ramirez never mentioned this painting in his journals, so alas, we can only debate.
