While doing background research on this week’s featured artist, Andrey Bobir, and his trippy surreal art, I was a little surprised that I was unable to uncover much on the man, or his interesting photo-realistic technique.
What I did discover was that he is 27 years old and he lives and works in Almaty, the former capital of Kazakhstan. All of the work seen here was created digitally using 3ds max and Photoshop, his preferred medium. Themes of loss, alienation, loneliness, the concept of consciousness and an overall pessimistic view of technology are common themes that he revisits in his work.
As I like to say in cases like this, perhaps it’s best to let the art speak for itself, in this case, the ultra-surrealist digital art of Andrey Bobir. Check out the gallery after the jump.

wonderful work
Hi David … thanks for the reblog. Cool, interesting art.
Thanks for introducing us to this fascinating artist. I love the Temple of the Wind.
No worries, Allan. Temple Of The Wind is a good one. Annihilation Of Sense really works for me. Glad you liked this art.
Surreal is right, even ultra-surreal! There’s also something very cool, even chilly, about the way the torsos and heads and some of the landscapes are figured.
Hello, Victoria … and sorry about my late reply with this one. Yes, very chilly, like something from those alarmist sci-fi films like “THX 1138” or “Blade Runner.”
Intriguing
Hi there, frechapple10. thanks for visiting my blog. I love collage and your blog is excellent. I’m looking forward to getting deeper into it. Very cool!
Thank you. Cool is good. I am glad you enjoy my work, this medium gives me great pleasure. 🙂
Yay, surrealism.
Hi Kevin … thanks for dropping by my blog (and sorry about the late reply). Yes! Surrealism!
My stuff mixes between surrealism and something else, probably has a name.
this is just fascinating
Glad you liked this art, Jo … weird, wild stuff!
I’m amazed at where you find these artists Stephen. These are quite mesmerising and some of them disturbing, but all are fascinating
So sorry about my late reply … yes, a lot of the art I feature treads the line between disturbing and brilliant. I guess that one of the cool things about art: it can exist on many different levels.
These are really quite amazing! They are all very surreal with a certain darkness.
Hi Debbie … glad liked this work. Agreed … some of this looks like it could have been pulled from an obscure sci-fi film about society in decay.
Nope, I didn’t connect with his work at all. I do connect with your art lessons, however. I look forward to them, but because of a busy couple of weeks, I was late getting to this one.
Hi Pat … actually, I’m surprised so many people connected with his work. I’m not sure exactly where I stand on it. It’s good stuff, but it’s a bit too chilly for my tastes.
I think you hit it – work can be creative and artistic, but not aesthetically appealing to some of us. But we can still respect him as an artist.
Stephen, this don’t talk to me at all … far to dark and wired, but I really like the apple. That is a fantastic piece … there is something in that piece, that even if it’s cut in half and damaged in that way … is there hope with the new tree growing out from it. A big like us humans … that even if we are damage we can provide something positive.
