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...

Free Your Imagination
If life will not give us a way forward, a path to our goals and our dreams, then we have to make our own.
The Eye-Cing On The Cake
Architectural Symphony
Long Time No Sea
Rocky Road Ice Cream
Mother Nature Is Watching You
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.
Matri-Arch
And upon her shoulders she carried her children even as they left her far behind in pursuit of their dreams.
Lip Glass
Street Dog
The Sound Of The Sea-R
Sharp Vision
Saucy Lips
Pho-Toe-Synthesis
D-Eye-Ving Into Summer
Eye Rolling
A Dessert To D-Eye For
Poker (F)ace
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.
Matri-Arch-Y
The Sk-Eye Is The Limit
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when they'res footprints on the moon.
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.
Eye-Ce Cream
Eye-Dea
This looks like it's out of a horror movie-just needs blood.
T(R)ail Path
Mahogan-Eye
Photographic Memory
Sweet Tooth
Fight Or Flight

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".
"we are dust and shadows" - Will Herondale, 'The Clockwork Angel'. I don't know why I put this here I just thought it would be fitting.
I can't imagine the work these took, I love them! Don't worry about fish, they were probably having a bad day :)
