Video: Paintings by Paul David Bond, created out of curiosity

Although they say that the curious Barbarian's nose was torn off at the bazaar, nevertheless, there are more and more such "barbarians" every day. Not in the sense of having a torn nose, but in the sense of those who cannot sit still, want to know and see more, and then share what they see with others. No, we are not talking about gossips on the benches at all. And about people with an inquiring mind and an active lifestyle. Mexican artist Paul David Bond, for example, is not only curious, but also talented. And all his unusual paintings are a tribute to curiosity. Paul David Bond was born in Guadalajara, but lives and works in the States, South Carolina. And again, out of curiosity. Even when he was little, he wondered what was there, abroad. But then he could only read books about other countries and peoples, but as soon as the boy became an adult and felt the strength in himself, he left Mexico, finding his place in the United States. There his first paintings were born. As unusual as the author himself.
"My paintings are born not only from my imagination. All images and characters are real, I really see them: either from the window, or behind the glass of a shop window, or at the next table in a cafe," says Paul David Bond about his work. - "I am very curious, and I always look around, wherever I am. An interesting piece of clothing of a person who passed by, or the behavior of my pets - all this can become an idea for creating a new picture."
As you can see, this technique gives good results, because the artist has repeatedly won competitions for young artists, and has also held and continues to hold personal exhibitions in galleries both in the United States and far beyond its borders. The author's online gallery can be viewed on his website.
