CRISTÓBAL

Juan Carlos Cristóbal is a rising talent who uses colored pencils to produce photorealistic drawings. Pop-culture icons recur throughout his work, turning the ordinary into striking, large-format pieces. In his own words, the process is “strict but rewarding; containing but peaceful. It’s constant pursuit of perfection and immaculateness.” Each drawing calls for meticulous precision, built up inch by inch into vivid, detailed images.
