   This second profile of self-taught Indian artist, Archan Nair focuses on his surreal digital landscapes. His art is easily distinguishable from other digital surrealists with its bright colors & seamless blending of 3D forms & digital painting. Archan creates worlds that are completely original, born from a deep inner well of vital creative energy.

   A few months ago, I brought you 40 of his distorted experimental portraits & figure studies in a post called, Reconfigured.

   Many of these landscapes are available for sale as prints & other art merchandise in his Society6 Shop.
