Fernando Vincente’s Atlas Map Paintings Are Beautiful

moray mair | Art and design | August 30, 2012

Fernando Vincente‘s ‘Atlas’ series of map paintings are neatly done – with an illustrators eye, a designers intuitiveness for image creating. After trawling through the shops, flea markets and antique fairs in and around Madrid for maps, atlases and cartographic canvases Vincente set about bring animals, humans and objects to life out of the contours of the continents, seas and land masses of the planet. Here’s what he said about his process:

When I paint I like to do on printed materials, is a way to unite my passion for topics such as anatomy, mechanics and my hobby for collecting posters, maps, atlas geographic and geographical anatomy with my work.
