The works of the Spaniard Jaume Montserrat are amazing: his hollow animals seem to live in a kind of parallel universe, where everyone is equal in the face of an all-embracing emptiness. Montserrat's illustrations are simple yet incredibly original. In this symbiosis lies the appeal of his work.
Young Spanish illustrator Jaume Montserrat is from Barcelona. He loves nature, society and travel. Working on the next drawing, he seeks to combine these main passions of his life and create something new, something of his own. Montserrat's works stand out among others - his work is very original.
The Emptyland project is a series of surreal drawings of hollow animals and birds. The idea of the project was born by chance. While traveling from Miami (USA) to Spain, Jaume fell asleep on the plane, and the dream he saw struck him. He dreamed of an extraordinary island, where, as if all the animals from Noah's ark had landed, each creature had a pair. In a dream, Haume realized that animals, in fact, are devoid of bodies - they are sexless and immortal. “I felt the extraordinary freedom that such an empty reality gives. No one needs to hunt, no one needs to kill for food, because there is also no need to eat. I thought a lot about God and about Darwinian evolutionary theory and realized that I would like to live in such a reality,”says the artist.
Many artists touch upon the theme of the animal world in their works. So, the Canadian illustrator from Toronto Nicholas di Genova creates rather strange creatures, mired in wars and interspecies relations.
