The Art of Dino Valls

Capturing the essence of the Italian and Flemish masters of centuries past, Spanish artist Dino Valls creates realistic portraits focusing on the stimulating themes of psychology and identity. The depictions of supple skinned adolescents in unsettling proximity to intricate and sharp medical equipment renders a subtle sense of disquiet within the antiquated settings. Having been educated in Medicine before venturing into painting, his works bear the marks of masterful precision while illuminating a unique mixture of psychosis, trauma and magic ritual. View more of the work after the jump.
