    "Krink and Extra Virgin Olive Oil" Painting 24" x 18" inch by Isaac Pelayo Medium: Oil, oil stick, and aerosol on wood "The Modern Renaissance" series Historically, the art world has been an exclusive society, with the elite having access to classical imagery and the less privileged perceiving street art as a form of defiance. This view, however, is challenged by Isaac Pelayo's Modern Renaissance series, which creates a new kind of art that is accessible to all people by merging elements of street art and more traditional forms of art. This corpus of work is a remarkable masterwork that inspires introspection and discussion among people from a wide range of backgrounds. The juxtaposition of two art styles that could not be more different from one another provides a balance between the destructive and the creative. The contrast between his precise and detailed brushwork depicting classical imagery as well as the casual and spontaneous drips created by using oil paints, spray paint, and oil sticks, results in a captivating atmosphere. Indubitably, it can be described as a fascinating and captivating fusion of two contrasting worlds. It is precisely this equilibrium that gives Pelayo's art its distinctive quality. It is clear that Pelayo's artwork is highly impacted by the constantly shifting metropolitan landscape of Los Angeles, which is a fact that is visible in his work. The Modern Renaissance series by Pelayo is an accurate depiction of the city's rich and diverse culture, from the vivid colors to the exquisite details that are featured in the series. Pelayo is frequently characterized as heralding the arrival of a New Renaissance...
