About the Item
This large-format acrylic painting on 300 g/m² paper, enriched with gold leaf details, portrays a surreal encounter between music, symbolism, and the reshaping of perception. The composition presents a guitarist absorbed in a moment of inspiration, his figure illuminated by a sacred beam of light that descends into the architectural space around him. Echoing both medieval iconography and contemporary culture, he becomes the mediator between an inner world and an altered landscape.
In this work, music and painting converge as tools of transformation. The surrounding environment bends to the rhythm of the sound: trees acquire zigzagging forms, the sky turns into a heated stage, and a tiger emerges in caricatured vigor. The feline draws from traditional Korean painting, where tigers often symbolized authority yet were rendered in a mocking, humorous way—an echo of how art and music can resist power and redefine meaning.
The temple-like interior stands as a metaphor for the human mind, the very place where reality is shaped and reinterpreted. Within this setting, the guitarist’s riffs not only fill the air but also rewrite the visible world, suggesting that perception itself is a construction—fluid, mutable, and inseparable from imagination.
Nico Pearleyes brings together multiple layers of cultural reference in this work: the discipline of Renaissance perspective, the wit of Korean visual traditions, the raw energy of death metal, and a Pop Surrealist approach to figuration. The painting embodies his ongoing exploration of the boundary between the real and the imaginary, showing how symbolic animals, atmospheric distortions, and hybrid iconographies can open new ways of looking at reality.
Dimensions: 50 x 70 cm unframed, 50.7 x 70.7 cm framed. Excellent condition. Delivered professionally packed (approx. 60 x 80 cm, 4–5 kg).

Nico Pearleyes
Nico Pearleyes is a French painter based in Paris. He studied graphic design at Gobelins School in Paris and began painting during the 2020 lockdown, developing a personal language that merges Renaissance composition, Korean traditional art, skateboard culture, Post-Impressionism, and Pop Surrealism. His work often depicts surreal landscapes, symbolic animals, and dreamlike atmospheres, exploring the boundary between reality and imagination. Having lived between South Korea and the French Alps, his practice is deeply shaped by these cultural and natural environments. Through his paintings, Pearleyes questions how images influence our perception of the world and invites viewers to reconsider the narratives that define their reality.

Wisdom Trumps Violence - Surreal Oil Painting with a Leopard, an Owl, and a Man
By Christopher Klein
Located in Chicago, IL
Toying (e.g., rider on toy horse) with violent threats is not wise. The sounds (e.g., horn) of violence (e.g., spear and leopard) will never overtake wisdom (e.g., owl and pearl). This masterfully painted surrealist artwork draws in the viewer with its extraordinary detail. The artwork is framed.
