Pablo Bronstein's Art Style 

Bronstein's diverse portfolio, often imbued with humor, encompasses drawings, prints, choreography, and performance art, all influenced by architecture. His detailed explorations of historical and pseudo-historical European design and architecture convey themes of social aspiration, identity, and the representation of wealth.

He specializes in architectural sketches using ink and gouache, framed elaborately to depict imagined buildings that blend styles from 18th-century France and the 1980s. Bronstein's illustrations resemble architectural plans from these eras, particularly drawing inspiration from Baroque aesthetics. However, these are not depictions of real locations; they are products of Bronstein's imaginative vision.

His artistic repertoire also features live performance; for instance, his Plaza Minuet at the Tate Triennial 2006 involved choreographed movements within the gallery space performed by Baroque-trained dancers.
