Mario Sanchez

Mario Sanchez is a young artist, born in 1985 he says on his website (http://aegis-strife.net) "I am young, but I'm not stupid)
A fine arts graduate, he currently lives in Spain and studies illustration, he is well-known for his photo manipulations.

He uses a variety of different mediums, like for example digital painting, vectors or 3D. Sometimes he starts work on Analogue formats and finishes them in digital, or vice versa.

"His habitual line features hyper realistic together with surreal and contemporary dark art touches" (http://aegis-strife.net)

I'm a big fan of surrealism, and Salvador Dali. So when I came across Mario Sanchez' work on www.smashingmagazine.com I instantly became a fan. I could look at these images for hours. I think when I go into the graphic design industry I will probably use surrealism as an inspiration, and I would look back at artists like Sanchez as an influence on my work.
