# Freaky Faceless Art The Surrealist Luis Dourado 'Into Space' Series By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-09-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luis-dourado-into-space References: [luisdourado.net](http://www.luisdourado.net/illustration/lol/) & [luisdourado.net](http://www.luisdourado.net/author/about/) The majority of Luis Dourado's work is outrageously inventive and kind of odd, with the Luis Dourado 'Into Space' series as no exception. This [surreal series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) involves retro photographs with faces or eyes cut out and replaced. Most of the images in the Luis Dourado 'Into Space' series show retro photographs pasted into nature, with the rest of the landscape imagery replacing a pair of eyes or an entire face. The result is wildly creative, kind of unsettling and completely fun. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Surrealist Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in exploring new ways to combine retro photography with nature imagery. - **Outrageous Invention:** Disruptive innovation opportunities arise from pushing the boundaries of traditional photography and creating unexpected and unconventional visuals. - **Creative Image Manipulation:** Disruptive innovation opportunities can be found in developing innovative techniques to cut out and replace faces or eyes in retro photographs, creating surreal and novel visuals. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by embracing surrealism and experimenting with unexpected combinations of visual elements. - **Photography:** The photography industry has disruptive innovation opportunities in developing new image manipulation techniques and creating unique and unconventional visuals. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The marketing and advertising industry can leverage disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating surreal and unconventional visuals to capture audience attention and differentiate brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Surreal Artist-Inspired Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dal-collection.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Artsy Surrealist Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gohar-world.md)
