Artwork
In July 2020, Pascal painted a mural in Paris called “Confessions of a Red Jester,” a modern interpretation of the 1862 painting “Stańczyk” by Jan Matejko. In his rendition, the titular jester is surrounded by fiat bills on the ground and has what appears to be a tablet on the table next to him. He has described the painting as being about both fiat money and quantitative easing. [4] [12] [13]
Aside from his mural paintings, Boyart also creates unique art out of ripped up dollar bills. He usually depicts prominent personas in the cryptocurrency space. [15]
