The wild aristocracy, incredible machines and imaginary animals of Beto Val

Welcome to the surreal world of Beto Val, Ecuadorian artist who alchemizes vintage illustrations into bizarre compositions turning fantasy into reality.

Beto Val‘s collages immerse us in a surreal world inhabited by absurd and eccentric beings. Using old vintage images in his collages the artist creates atmospheres which are absurd and eccentric yet somehow familiar.

It all becomes possible in this creative mind where iconic images of famous paintings, unknown characters from past eras and hybrid characters from a parallel world become a continuous source for those in search of innovative, surreal and striking visual inspirations.

I am a Journalist (member of the Milan Association of Publicists since 1999) active in the field of communication and organisation of art events for international Art Galleries and Museum for the past 20 years. Since 2001 I’m editor in chief of Tattoo Life Magazine. I love contemporary art and I’m specialised in photography and pop surrealism. I'm inseparable from my diabolical dachshunds Vladimiro and Oliver and soon my dream will come true: I will be a yoga teacher.
