About The Artwork
Limited edition print from an original oil painting. Signed and numbered with certificate of authenticity. Also available in canvas. The Accidental Monarch In my mid 50’s, due to the generosity of relatives (symbolized by the ‘inherited’ jewelry chest) and my own hard work and determination in building my art career (the slow, steady turtle and fruiting orange tree), I suddenly found myself with a modest investment portfolio. The novelist Tom Robbins wrote, “there is a certain Buddhistic calm that comes from having money in the bank”. And while true, I also discovered something unexpected. Under that calm was a new possession to protect and worry about. Market collapses, real estate downturns, global plagues… how do they effect my bottom line? A good problem to have, for sure. Yet I created this somber self-portrait as a reminder to stay on track (as represented by the compass) in not making life choices out of fear of what I might lose. But always, always choosing the path of joy as my ultimate guide.

About the Artist Award-winning oil painter Paul Bond was born in 1964 in Guadalajara, Mexico, and currently lives and works in Southern California and Costa Rica. Paul Bond's art lives in the spaces between dreaming and reality. Drawing from the Latin American genre of Magic Realism, his paintings merge symbolic, surreal and fantastic elements with realistic atmospheres to unveil a world where everything is possible. At times, they simply express a whimsical aspect of life. Yet most works also carry deeper metaphysical and philosophical messages illuminating the world of our dreams and subconscious thoughts, fears and hopes. Bond’s work has won numerous awards and been featured in galleries, museums and cultural centers, including The Gateway Museum 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, Marriott Hotels, Scripps and Stanford Hospitals; and his works are featured in numerous contemporary art publications.
