About this work
Remembering Every Elephant presents a contemplative study of memory and presence through Mayoral's distinctive approach to acrylic painting. Executed on wood panel, the composition explores the majestic form of elephants through layered brushwork and careful color modulation. The intimate scale of this piece belies its emotional resonance, as Mayoral employs both translucent glazes and opaque passages to create depth and atmosphere. The wood surface beneath subtly influences the texture, lending an organic quality that complements the natural subject matter. Mayoral's elephant studies have become increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate his ability to capture both physical presence and symbolic weight within modest dimensions. This work exemplifies his mature style, where technical precision serves emotional and conceptual depth. The piece would enhance collections focused on contemporary wildlife portraiture or figurative abstraction, offering a meditation on memory and extinction that feels both timely and timeless.

About Javier Mayoral
Javier Mayoral, known online as PulpBrother, was born in Spain, where he worked briefly for an advertising company before moving to the United States in his early thirties. He lived in New York, Phoenix, and San Francisco before eventually settling in Miami, where he now works full time as a painter.
Mayoral is entirely self-taught and worked as a chef for years while painting on the side, developing his style through small acrylic works on wood. His paintings are minimal and direct, typically pairing a single, easily recognizable figure with a witty or blunt handwritten caption, drawing on the visual language of advertising and illustration. His background in that industry shows through in the poster-like clarity of his compositions.
His work blends humor with pointed social and psychological commentary, taking cues from popular culture, Freudian ideas, and everyday absurdity, often delivered with a deadpan or irreverent tone. Mayoral built much of his early following directly through social media, where his fast, prolific output and consistent visual style resonated with a broad audience. He has since produced thousands of paintings and exhibited across the United States and in Spain, Austria, and France.
