Led by Nando López, a digital artist based in Barcelona who started his career in renowned agencies and later specialized in fashion industry projects, this series of digital illustrations and collages plays with out-of-context elements to provoke a smile and spark reflection. The pieces in Dikhotomy are an intrusion into the familiar, a clash of eras, techniques, and styles blended without asking permission, creating a surprising and surreal effect.
Inspired by pop culture and street art, it transforms compositions into fresh, humor-laden visual landscapes. Each image is a deliberate parody of the art world but also an invitation to rethink how we see things. Here, the classic and the modern coexist, art laughs at itself, and the viewer is drawn into a visual story that doesn’t need logic to be fascinating.
