Ecuadorian artist Beto Val is renowned for his surreal digital collages that splice vintage illustrations into fantastical hybrid creatures. His work immerses viewers in a world where the absurd and eccentric coexist with the familiar, creating a sense of possibility and necessity for these bizarre beings. Val’s artistry extends beyond a single theme or style, as he explores, plays, and has fun with each new piece, suggesting a completely different world from the last while maintaining his distinctive signature.
His passion for exploration and playfulness in expression is evident in works like “Wild Aristocracy” and “Amazing Machines”, as well as his depictions of animals from an “Imaginary Animal Kingdom”. Each collage is a testament to his skill in combining vintage collage techniques with photo manipulation, crafting a universe that resists being pigeonholed into a single narrative.
