Description:

Painted during the 2020 Covid quarantine. Though I was at home with my wife, I experienced a deeply profound period of personal introspection and transformation. While it has been painful and constricting for many, I feel that from a higher spiritual perspective the experience has been calling for us to individually and collectively take stock of who we are, and who we wish to be moving forward. Accomplished through a stripping away of the distractions that normally keep us from looking inwards. The islands represent the separation from that external busyness. The plants taking over the house is the replenishing of the natural world that we have seen happening worldwide. The tiger symbolizes willpower, courage and personal strength. The qualities I believe are necessary to take each of us through this experience in a fearless and transformative way, so as to emerge on the other side with our humanity expanded and our awareness heightened. The boat is the spiritual journey, the voyage of our lives, floating into view to take the tiger out into the greater world again. Renewed, strengthened, and deepened by this experience.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Paul Bond’s award-winning oil paintings live in the spaces between dreaming and reality.

Born in 1964 in Guadalajara, Mexico, he draws from the Latin American genre of Magic Realism where symbolic and fantastic elements blend with realistic atmospheres, unveiling a world where anything is possible. His paintings merge symbolic, surreal and fantastic elements with realistic atmospheres to unveil a world where everything is possible. He often refers to then as “fairy tales for adults”. By merging and altering familiar objects –mixed with equal parts whimsy, wonder and mysticism – Bond’s works delight the imagination and stir the soul.

Bond’s award-winning art has been featured in galleries and museums, including the Gateway Museum in Farmington, NM and the San Diego Art Institute. His paintings are now in private collections throughout the US and worldwide. Corporate collections include Fox, Warner Bros and NBC Studios, Royal Caribbean International, Scripps Hospital, Marriott Hotels, Hotel EMC2, and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.

Bond currently divides his time between homes in Southern California and Costa Rica, along with his wife, Life/Business Coach and Transformational Consultant Donna Bond.
