Colombian artist Sebastian Ospina is a mixed-media master who creates dreamlike works. This crafty artist creates his images using other images, combining and layering them in a collage style. Ospina's pieces usually depict one or two subjects with exaggerated features. These figures are usually placed in settings that have otherworldly or [surreal elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery). Large light bulbs act as spaceships and carry passengers across skies full of geometric clouds. These images are bursting with imagination and would be the perfect cure for blank or [bland walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-surfaces). This series of Sebastian Ospina collages uses [mixed media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) to create surreally astounding images straight out of your imagination. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mixed-media Art:** Embrace the trend of mixed-media art to create visually striking and unique pieces. - **Whimsical Imagery:** Tap into the trend of whimsical imagery to evoke a sense of wonder and imagination in your designs. - **Collage Techniques:** Explore the trend of collage techniques to combine different visuals and create visually dynamic compositions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Incorporate mixed-media art and whimsical imagery into various art and design projects to captivate audiences. - **Home Decor:** Integrate collages with surreal and imaginative elements into home decor items to offer unique and visually appealing options for consumers. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Utilize mixed-media collages to create captivating and attention-grabbing visuals for advertisements and marketing campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md)
