Surreal Illustrated Portraits by Vedran Stimac

Vedran Stimac is a Croatian illustrator and street artist who creates surreal portraits with an intriguing style. It is often said, “the eye is the window to the soul,” and Vedran takes this idea even further, creating fantastical portals on his subject’s faces.

His creations portray famous authors and personalities in a way that blends their physical likeness with their literary or personal works. For example, one of his well-known pieces is a portrait of Stanley Kubrick, where he integrates elements of the filmmaker’s iconic 2001: A Space Odyssey film into the portrait. This approach not only creates visually stunning pieces but also adds a deeper layer of meaning to each portrait, offering viewers a glimpse into the subject’s mind and work.
