Juan Travieso creates visually complex worlds through combining realist painting techniques with surreal and geometric juxtapositions. Travieso presents the endangerment of species, such as the tiger pictured, as an allegory for the consequences of society’s shifting priorities and the pitfalls of issues from climate change to gentrification. Travieso’s imaginative scene presents a graphic topography and invasive plants intertwined with two tigers. A recently felled tree and overwhelming grid system evoke human involvement, suggesting a narrative of loss and isolation. His surrealist environment evokes questions of who can thrive, whose needs are prioritized, what values have created this dystopian scene, and at what cost.

將現實主義的繪畫技巧與超現實主義的幾何并置結合，創造出了視覺上十分複雜的世界。他通過老虎這樣的珍惜動物，表現出社會重心轉變的後果以及從氣候變暖到城市化所帶來的一系列問題。他富於想象力地展示了一幅兩隻老虎與入侵植物交錯在一起的圖畫。新砍倒的樹木和壓倒性的網格表達出了人類對自然的參與，暗示出作品遺失和孤立的主題。他畫中超現實主義的環境引出了關於誰能生存，誰的需求應該被重視，什麽樣的價值觀造就了這反烏托邦的景象，我們爲此付出了什麽等等問題。
