About The Artist
The award-winning magic realism art of Paul Bond (Pesqueira) has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in galleries, museums and cultural centers, including Contemporary Fine Arts Gallery in La Jolla, CA; the Haro Gallery, Culver City, CA; the Gateway Museum in Farmington, New Mexico; the William DeBilzan Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico; the Magidson Gallery in Aspen, Colorado; the Lu Martin Gallery in Laguna Beach, California; Evocative Arts Gallery in Palm Springs, California; and the San Diego Art Institute. His paintings are in private and corporate collections, including the Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA; and PB&J Restaurants in Wichita, KS.

Bond draws the following analogy of his paintings: “ Life and the Universe can be likened to a car - it works, and we all use one - yet most of us don’t fully know how it really functions. Unless we spend our lives in the study of physics and sciences, at best, we can reach a place where we are in awe, gratitude and reverence with the mysteries which surround and permeate our lives. Though my art, I like to give viewers a glimpse under the hood of their lives.”
