Regnum Lemoniacorum, 2015 _{A Surrealism, Ballpen on Paper , Painting}

An intricate dream-city unfolds in black and white, inviting the eye to wander through its strange and theatrical architecture.

Jaramillo organizes the composition as a sprawling invented metropolis, where buildings, domes, striped surfaces, and ship-like elements press together in a continuous visual current. The drawing rewards slow looking: each zone carries its own small incident, yet the whole remains coherent through repeated rhythms of line, shading, and patterned detail. The ballpen medium sharpens this effect, allowing dark accents and fine tonal passages to build a world that feels both precise and irrational.

Where It Fits

At 140 cm wide, the piece has the scale to anchor a large wall without relying on color for impact. It suits spaces that benefit from active visual energy rather than calm neutrality—an art studio, creative workspace, foyer, or gallery-like interior where viewers can approach and keep finding new details. Its presence is especially strong in rooms that welcome conversation, imagination, and a more individual atmosphere.

Artistic Perspective

What gives this work lasting interest is the balance between fantasy and control. Its anti-natural perspective and surreal city logic never feel random; they are held together by disciplined draftsmanship and a clear sense of structure. That combination makes the painting compelling not only as a striking wall presence, but as a deeply authored work with sustained viewing value.
