Jorge Aguilar (also known as JAAR) is a young Mexican painter whose paintings consist of large mixed media paintings on canvas.

 

His style lies in his colorful and stylized forms. JAAR's subject matter tends to focus on animals or figures and his paintings tend to be very textural, large, and brightly colored in nature. Jorge Aguilar tends to place emphasis or focus on faces. The figures or faces portrayed in his paintings are his expression of the people who the artist meets or people Aguilar personally knows. Rather than seeing them as portraits, JAAR sees his figures as a reinterpretation of these people and his own version.
