In American Dream – Stripes of Success, Daniela Kronvall reimagines the pursuit of achievement as both a personal and cultural odyssey. Kronvall’s inspiration comes from Napoleon Hill’s timeless principles of ambition, perseverance and success. Kronvall explores how determination, vision and innovation have come to embody the essence of the American dream.
Her composition unfolds in luminous layers of ultramarine and gold: Colors long associated with divinity, royalty, prosperity and power. Ultramarine, once more precious than gold itself, evokes both spiritual depth and boundless possibility, recalls the color’s historic role in Renaissance art as a symbol of the infinite and the sacred. Gold, radiant and eternal, anchors the work in notions of success and luxury; its brilliance mirroring the tangible rewards of aspiration fulfilled.
Through this chromatic dialogue, Kronvall transforms color into metaphor: The “stripes” emerge as pathways of ambition, each band represents stages of growth, risk and triumph. The interplay of blue and gold becomes a meditation on the dual nature of the American pursuit where dreams are both illuminated by hope and measured by achievement.
In this new work for Red Dot Miami 2025, Kronvall invites viewers to reflect on the enduring symbolism of wealth and progress. American Dream – Stripes of Success becomes not only a celebration of aspiration but also a reminder that true success lies in the ongoing harmony between vision, value, initiative, purpose, discipline, faith, mastermind, pleasing personality, enthusiasm, perseverance, will power and imagination.
