Almacan is the pseudonym of Japanese artist, Kazuhiko Nakamura, whose amazing digital art is inspired by surrealism and cyberpunk. He is particularly drawn to 19th century machine designs and armour.
Almacan began his online art gallery called Mechanical Mirage so he could publicly display his private works of art. He said, "All of these images have been created with a portrait style while still containing a puzzle type quality." His images were created by using 3D (Shade) and 2D software (Photoshop).
He has won awards and his work has been exhibited at shows.
