# Nature-Infused Individuals Matt Wisniewski Blends Humans with Earth into Surreal Hybrids By Meghan Young | Published 2011-11-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matt-wisniewski References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/nature-infused-human-beings) & [fivem.tumblr](http://fivem.tumblr.com/) Artist Matt Wisniewski provides a, quite literally, fresh perspective on the currently popular art forms of [photomontages and mixed media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1). He takes images of models and strategically superimposes epic imagery of nature on top of them. Mostly concentrating on the head and torso, he creates surreal beings that are [hybrids between humans and nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany). Based in New York City, Matt Wisniewski predominantly uses photos that he finds on Tumblr sites. By [blending mankind and Earth together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matter-collection), it becomes hard to see where one ends and the other begins. Although the human form provides a convenient boundary for nature, Matt Wisniewski's works really show how much people are part of Mother Nature. Matt Wisniewski posts his work on his own Tumblr titled Five Minutes to Live. His imagery really depict this urgency to experience life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nature-inspired Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include incorporating natural elements into various art forms such as sculpture and painting. - **Hybrid Creations:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include exploring the possibilities of merging human and nature in various industries such as fashion and architecture. - **Mixed Media Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include experimenting with various forms of media for creating art such as combining photography with other art styles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include incorporating natural elements into fashion designs and creating hybrid clothing pieces. - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include incorporating natural elements into architectural designs and creating structures that seamlessly integrate with nature. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include experimenting with mixed media techniques to create surreal and impactful photographs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Natural Material-Transformed Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borrowed-earth-collaborative.md) - [Nature-Reconnecting Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highwood-installation.md) - [Nature-Inspired Lifestyle Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supernatural.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Wooden Identity Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md)
