«Juan Dollar» is one of the pieces that identify the work of Carlos Apitz. Based on the American one-dollar bill, Apitz intervenes by placing elements of American pop culture, some as industrial symbols of the country with the largest economy in the world, you will see Mike Mouse, hamburgers, Coke, a Pickup girl, and the drawing of the Monopoly character.
All these elements represent the entertainment and food industries, as well as the monopoly that brands and finance hold over the global economy.

About the style
Carlos Apitz’s works are based on POP Art, which not only includes the style or way in which you draw or paintwork, it also includes industrial reproduction methods as a form of expression. If in the 60s to the 80s serigraphy, photography, and photomechanics were used, in the 21st century, these techniques were replaced by the digital age and other reproduction methods.
In Juan Dollar, Carlos Apitz applies a mixed technique that combines hand painting, reproduction, digital drawing, acrylic, and more, with elements redrawn by hand or digitally and colored in various ways.
Juan Dollar has a limited edition of 150 units in each size, but once printed, it is intervened by hand. Finally, this personal touch makes each piece unique.
