About The Artist
The award-winning paintings of Paul David Bond Pesqueira have been featured in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and cultural centers, including 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, Pennsylvania.
“In my paintings I rearrange familiar objects and elements until they match images mined from my imagination. I am always looking for new visual symbols to reflect an emotion or ideal that I'm entertaining at the moment. Very often a painting is born from something randomly seen from a car window or a line in a novel. If it stirs my curiosity, it finds it’s way into my work.”
