Each image is a collage, although that might be hard to discern at first. That is because Christopher Eyles has masterfully pasted the landscape together to create a [seamless scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterpieces-ii) that would only be possible if it were witnessed in a dream. Born in Fareham, England, and currently based in London, Christopher Eyles plops sky-blue pools in the middle of [tropical rainforests and jungles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer) with snowy mountains in the backdrop. What the casual observer might not realized is that each piece is painstakingly composed from hundreds of [snippets of photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection) from magazines and leaflets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Collage Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore innovative ways of creating immersive and seamless scenes through collage techniques. - **Tropical Aesthetics:** Potential for businesses to incorporate tropical motifs and visuals into branding and marketing campaigns to appeal to a sense of paradise and escape. - **Dreamlike Landscapes:** Opportunity to develop virtual reality experiences or video games that transport users to surreal and fantastical landscapes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Artistic community can embrace and experiment with collage techniques to create unique and captivating pieces. - **Tourism:** Travel agencies and resorts can use tropical aesthetics in their promotional materials and experiences to entice potential customers. - **Entertainment:** Game developers and virtual reality companies can leverage dreamlike landscapes to create immersive and captivating experiences for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Fantasy Sculptural Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chris-wolston.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Climate-Awareness Soft Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamstones.md) - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md) - [UK-Based Modern Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relics-in-the-landscape.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md)
