Niche House Auctions, one of the fastest-growing and most trusted luxury auction platforms in the world, is honored to present another one-of-a-kind masterpiece by visionary artist Merschad Khalili. Catering to every echelon of net worth, from multimillion-dollar investments to highly sought-after treasures accessible to all, Niche House continues to connect collectors with extraordinary works that are both profound and timeless. Today, we proudly offer "Dreamswap"—a singular, original creation that embodies the ethereal unity of nature and humanity.
"Dreamswap" is an exquisite work of art that transcends traditional boundaries, inviting viewers to explore the profound interconnectedness of all living beings. This masterful piece depicts a tender moment shared between a softly nestled baby deer and a peacefully sleeping human baby. Intertwined in perfect harmony, their tranquil repose conveys a sense of divine innocence and mutual belonging. Adding a deeply symbolic layer, a regal crown graces the deer’s head, while the baby’s head is adorned with delicate deer horns, seamlessly blending the essence of their identities.
This awe-inspiring work is a testament to Khalili’s ability to weave profound symbolism into breathtaking visual narratives. The piece speaks to the universal truth that we are all one—children of the same divine creation. Through the tender interplay of the two figures, Khalili reminds us of the sacred connection between humans and nature, as well as the innate royalty and innocence present in all babies, whether human or animal. "Dreamswap" celebrates purity, unity, and the sanctity of life, encouraging viewers to honor the beauty in their shared existence.
Khalili’s unparalleled artistry shines through in "Dreamswap," created using his distinctive and intricate process. Beginning with a spray-painted clayboard transformed into scratchboard, Khalili sculpts his vision with remarkable precision using sandpaper, blades, and even his fingernail to refine every detail. This meticulous process is reminiscent of the approach of Michelangelo, who revealed masterpieces from blocks of marble. Khalili, too, brings to life awe-inspiring imagery from blank surfaces, creating works that resonate with emotional depth and technical brilliance.
This piece, emerging from Khalili’s California studio during his celebrated Malibu period, offers collectors an extraordinary opportunity to own an early work by an artist destined for global acclaim. Already sought after by elite connoisseurs, Khalili’s creations represent true investment art, with works like "Dreamswap" poised to appreciate in both cultural significance and value.

"Dreamswap" is more than a painting—it is a celebration of life, a tribute to the unity of all beings, and an emblem of the divine royalty present in every innocent soul. It is a piece that invites the viewer to dream, reflect, and cherish the shared essence that connects humanity and nature.
