CRISTÓBAL

Juan Carlos Cristóbal is an emerging artist who creates photorealistic drawings with colored pencils. Pop-culture icons appear again and again in his work, transforming familiar figures into bold, large-scale compositions. As he puts it, the process is “strict but rewarding; containing but peaceful. It’s constant pursuit of perfection and immaculateness.” Every drawing demands meticulous precision, layered gradually into vivid, richly detailed images.
