Fran Rodríguez is a Digital artist based in Barcelona. He creates images inspired by his early fondness on surrealism and psychedelia. The “normal” perception of things has long ceased to interest him. He firmly believes that what we perceive through our senses is only the tip of the iceberg. In the last few years he has focused in creating more personal projects, as well as creating artworks for music bands such as Weezer, Twin Shadow, and others.
