Pascal Boyart, an artist from France who became popular in the cryptocurrency community through his paintings, has finished yet another mural.
This one depicts the famous Red Jester but with a twist to reflect the current problems that riddle the global economy.
âContemplation of the Red Jesterâ
The Bitcoin communityâs favorite artist, Pascal Boyart, took it to Twitter today to announce that he has finished yet another mural painting.

The actual painting is Boyartâs take on Jan Matejkoâs StaĆczyk. This is one of the most popular works of Matejko, and itâs the one that won him his fame. Described as one of the most recognizable paintings currently sitting in Warsawâs National Museum, itâs a flagship creation for the âCollection of Polish paintings prior to 1914.â
Boyartâs take, however, has a twist to it. While it depicts the courtâs jester sitting seemingly sad in a dark room when Poland was at the height of its economic, political, and cultural power during the era of the Renaissance, there are contemporary EURO notes carelessly thrown on the floor.
Hidden in the hashtags of Boyartâs tweet are the words âdebtâ and âquantitative easing,â hinting at the diminishing value of fiat currencies.
Boyartâs Previous Bitcoin-Related Art
The artistâs work started grabbing the attention of Bitcoinâs community at the beginning of last year.
Back in January 2019, Boyart created another mural for the 10th birthday of Bitcoinâs genesis block. He also hid a puzzle in the fresco, and the person who managed to solve it won 0.26 BTC, worth about $1000 at the time.
One of the signature moves of Boyart is him spraypainting the QR code and his Bitcoin address. This way, whoever wants to donate some funds to the artist to support him, can do so freely with no intermediaries, highlighting yet another disruptive use case for the cryptocurrency.
