Extremely beautiful: Surrealistic art by a Spanish artist Dulk

This artist’s amazing paintings – both on building walls and on canvases – evokes associations with totem animals and fantastic creatures from ancient legends. But each such work is not just a flight of fancy, but the result of observations of wildlife around the world.

Antonio Segura Donat, who works under the name Dulk, is a Spanish street artist who began painting on the walls at the age of 19. He spent his childhood and youth helping his father to raise and care for birds, and Antonio “was always fascinated by the encyclopedias of ancient nature and books with botanical and zoological illustrations. This passion, preserved to this day, allows the artist to create striking works inspired by organic elements, plant life and wildlife.
Three years ago Dulk decided to go to the places where the characters of his work live to collect more information about these animals: “Pictures on the internet and in books are good tools for work, but at six in the morning, watching a grizzly bear hiding in the bushes with a camera is incredible. Since then the artist has travelled – from the African savannah in Tanzania to Costa Rica and Yellowstone National Park – to “add special value to my work with all these memories”.
Antonio still lives in his native Valencia, but for inspiration and to create new murals he travels around the world. But Dulk does not limit himself to drawings on the walls: he paints in the same surrealistic style, creates book illustrations, record covers and sculptures.
Antonio’s inexhaustible curiosity and constant search for new ways of showing his own talent, inherent to each true artist, turn him into a “universal” creator, ready for change, but still loyal to his main idea.
