Samuel Araya

Location: Paraguay Web: www.samarayaart.com Email: samarayaart@gmail.com MEDIA: Photoshop, Photography, mixed media Born and living in the “poisoned heart” of South America, Samuel has worked for clients such as The Seattle Opera House, CCP Games, Centipede Press and many others. His art has also appeared in the prestigious Spectrum: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art annual.

His latest series, Carcosa, was inspired by the seminal work of Robert W Chambers’ The King in Yellow. “The work presented here is in a threshold between memory and dream, painting and photography,” he says. “Symbolism is created by the juxtaposition of alchemical concepts and Chambers’ magnum opus.”
