My name is Monica Carvalho, I’m a Swiss-born photographer & digital artist based in Berlin.
I've always been fascinated by art that is challenging for the eyes, so over the years I have developed a passion for creating surreal images that ‘make you look twice’!
My artistic process is to challenge myself to look at the familiar from a new perspective. I combine photos from my travels and everyday life in Photoshop to produce photomontages. My aim is to inspire you and make you look at the world differently!
My artistic motto is simple: to make the ordinary extraordinary! I believe that if you shift your way of looking at ordinary things, they can acquire a new potential: clothes, people, food, architecture, nature, animals - anything has the power to inspire...
You can find my previous posts here, here and here.

Ok, I’m confused. When does the real eye start, and when does the cake stop?

Is it bothering anyone else that the slice of the cake is crooked to the middle of the eye?

Thank you! The pillars didn't actually line up to the piano keys, I had to Photoshop them all in different positions xD (if you search images of St. Paul's Cathedral in London you'll see how they look like in real life :D) <3

In theses halls we play at understanding, but we will always only hear a handfull of instruments. The full symphony will only be revealed long after these hollowed halls echo sans applause.

One could stare into their eyes and see the ocean that called to their souls. These people born to breathe salt and spray. These people unfortunate enough to be deprived of the fins and gills of their ancestors. They would forever remember and thirst.

you really know how to make me cry when you give me those ocean eyes...

I really like this photo. It perfectly captures the wisdom of the old mountain, keeping watch over all the comins and goings in the valley below.

That's one loooong dog... It reminds me off the slinky dog from Toy Story. Really impressive how you blend them.

Be careful around that one. The Ace of Spades may be the real king of the deck, but it's the Ace of Hearts who's the literal top gun around here.

Shut Your Moth!

Because a mother's words are like butterflies. Little cocoons that cling, ignored, to the underside of our subconscious until after a mother's voice has faded into memory and her lips lay silent beneath the soil. Then they wriggle loose and surface.These little truths that confront us, quickly forgotten advice suddenly, vitally there. An argument with a spouse and abruptly a butterfly is in attendance, vibrating wings of a far gone Karner blue day and a date gone wrong. A child flutters beneath your hands and promptly a monarch alights upon a figure who holds you close in gentle arms. Eventually they take flight and become less inclined to startle into view from beneath innocent flowers. But still, now and again, they float down from the sky bearing remembrance.

I loved all of these. They are all very expressive and well-done. I may also just have to bookmark this whole page as writing stimulus. Your creativity definitely inspires further creation.

Sorry, but this is nothing extraordinary, just two images stuck together with minimal digital work. The work is good for what it is, but nothing that makes me "look twice".

It's just gimmicky, but I feel like it can get better and more creative.
