Luis Beltran captures surreal images on a rather epic scale. Although not entirely fantastical, these images have been retouched to make each setting slightly unreal, giving it a sense of the impossible while firmly keeping one foot in reality.
Hailing from Valencia, Spain, Luis Beltran is clearly a master of Photoshop. With a focus on darker images, his portfolio seems filled with pre- and post-apocalyptic imagery. It is this theme that makes his work truly stand out against the crowd.
Luis Beltran is represented by Agora Gallery in New York, Blanca Berlin in Madrid, Artloveyou in Barcelona, Mediadvanced in Gijón and Galería O+O in Valencia. His work has been published in such magazines as Ex Magazine and Art Notes.
