VisionaryRealism.
A pictorial exploration where nature's majesty confronts the vestiges of human civilization.
Through a series of canvases of surgical precision and vibrant chromatic power, the artist invites us into a parallel dimension that strangely resembles our future.
The Aesthetics
of Contrast& melancholy
JPB's painting belongs to the great lineage of Magical Realism and contemporary Popular Surrealism. The artist employs a classical pictorial technique, almost academic in its treatment of fauna and light, to anchor deeply allegorical compositions.
Yet this aesthetic perfection is deliberately shattered by disturbing intrusions. JPB's body of work is a poignant critique of the Anthropocene — the geological era defined by humanity's massive impact on its ecosystem.
The Symbol at the Heart of the Canvas
- 01.The illusion of wealth against the livingBanknotes litter the ground at the feet of an exhausted zebra. A devalued currency in a world where true wealth is dying.
- 02.The remnants of consumerismA plastic bottle floating before Rodin's "Thinker." Is this the legacy of human thought?
- 03.The cosmic dimensionVast skies, overwhelming planets... A reminder of our infinitesimal place in the universe, contrasting with the arrogance of our megacities.

(The Zebra)
A zebra rests on arid ground, its gaze distant. Around it, dollar bills vanish in smoke while a scorpion approaches. In the distance, a futuristic city seems to evaporate beneath a giant moon weeping gold.
The Sovereign's Gaze
(The Tiger)
A frontal and hypnotic portrait. The fur, painted with striking hyperrealism, contrasts against a mystical nocturnal backdrop. The tiger watches us — not as prey, but as a silent judge of our actions.
The Shadow of the Colossus
(The Rhinoceros)
In a luminous savanna overlooked by a translucent planet, a rhinoceros advances, peaceful. In the tree, a primate observes. The canvas emanates an primordial peace.
