Bizarre collage art inspired by surrealism, the pop art movement and album covers

Eduardo Martinez is a designer, illustrator and visual artist from Barcelona, Spain. After beginning his career in graphic design in the 'boom' of the 1990s, he now works freelance.

Written By:
Surreal collage featuring a figure in yellow raising their arm, a large red geometric form, people in a gridded landscape, and a woman's face with binoculars in the foreground against a cloudy sky

In addition to his day job, Martinez has recently created this series of bizarre collages, "influenced by surrealism, pop art and album covers". Through this medium, he has found new ways of expression and communication.

Although the designer does not profess to have one particular style, he explains there are common elements interwoven throughout the works, such as geometry, old photography, engravings, anatomy and colour – all spawned from his creative imagination. Discover more at edunez.tumblr.com.
