Or an insect-human hybrid that can control minds? Or a thousand-foot-long sea serpent that emerges in Iceland every year? These images might look like they come from some long-lost paranormal case file. But this is actually the work of the brilliant artist and worldbuilder Eduardo Valdés-Hevia, who has spent the last several years bringing to life a menagerie of nightmares. Brought to life through a combination of old photographs and new elements, Valdés-Hevia’s art merges history and the surreal, with images that feel like they come directly from classified historical documents.
