Vintage books, magazines, and postcards inspire Brazilian artist and illustrator Laurindo Feliciano. Using these elements, he creates images that are both surreal and nostalgic. The combination (and often collision) of people, flora, and fauna result in pictures that we’ve never seen before.
Laurindo’s arrangements are mysterious, beautiful, and weird, like when he splits open someone’s head to reveal a bouquet of flowers. Stuff like that is what makes photographic collages great. Photography grounds things in (our) reality, but these types of works turn it on its head using simple-but-clever manipulations.
PS! I found Laurindo’s work via the Brown Paper Bag submissions page.
