Inspired by nature, Martijn Schrijver creates surreal digital artworks.
He expresses his imagination with Photoshop, passionately and skillfully incorporating animals into landscapes and other surroundings. Despite their realistic appearance, Martijn's images are surreal, as he often adds supernatural and humorous features.
In the example below, I began by imagining and sketching the concept. Next, I looked for useful images, like stock photos. I combined the rocky parts of multiple images to compose the chameleon, applying Photoshop cloning, transforming, and blending to make it look natural.
Sometimes, it's the other way around: an image provides inspiration and helps generate ideas. I often use existing elements from one or more images to create something new. Shapes, textures, or specific details, for instance, may be edited to create a surreal effect.
I also teamed up with The Ocean Agency and Adobe for featuring my work at creative exhibitions to draw attention to nature conservation. These physical exhibitions were located in e.g. Paris at the UNESCO headquarters. This has given me great satisfaction.
