I’ve Got You Covered

I’m Mario Nevado — a digital artist and cover designer with 20 years of experience designing bold, surreal visuals for albums, books and films. My work blends dark surrealism with vivid color palettes to create striking, emotional imagery that is hard to forget.
Authors and labels hire me for a reason: I don’t do safe. I design covers, posters and packaging for clients who want their projects to stand out — with artwork that looks as intense, strange and unique as the story behind it.

My art isn’t for the faint of heart — but if it’s calling you, you’re in the right place!

FINE ART PRINTS, POSTERS & WALL ART

Exclusive Colorful Surreal Wall Art Custom Orders for Luxurious Home Decor

Colorful, Emotional Dark Surrealism that Will Transform Your Space. Guaranteed.

My surreal fine art prints are for the bold, the brave, and the restless — they’re loud, raw, and they’re here to shake up your space. Bold contrasts, explosive colors, and surreal scenes of transformation — each piece is designed to challenge the way you see the world around you.

If you’ve found yourself drawn to this, then you’re exactly where you need to be. My colorful dark surrealism doesn’t play it safe, and it isn’t meant to. It’s for those who aren’t afraid to confront the darker, more powerful sides of life. This isn’t just art on a wall — it’s a conversation, a journey, a reflection of your own inner metamorphosis.

This is not decoration: This is a statement.

Hey! I am Mario Nevado, a Digital Artista Poster Designera Storyteller

Freelance cover artist and poster designer Mario nevado Art

I am a surreal digital artist; cover artist and poster designer specialized in colorful dark surrealism. I create surreal, symbolic narratives that expose the emotional and societal tensions lurking beneath the surface of modern life. My work blends hyperreal photomontage, digital painting, and conceptual storytelling to reveal invisible struggles—personal, political, and psychological. Through vibrant color palettes and dreamlike compositions, I explore themes of trauma, disconnection, morality, and transformation. I aim to provoke reflection and emotion by confronting viewers with beautifully unsettling images that feel both intimate and universal. My art is not escapism—it’s a mirror turned inside out.

20 Years of Experience

I published my first cover art design back in 2006 and I haven't stopped ever since - hundreds of clients can endorse me by now. Designing covers is my passion and I need to have my creative fix as much as I can!

Wide Artistic Toolkit

From hand drawn illustrations to cutting edge 3D models, photography and both traditional and digital painting, my wide set of skills ensure a technical one-of-a-kind work of art every time I'm commissioned.

Worked With the Best

I've collaborated with publishers and labels across the globe — from indie gems to industry giants like Adobe or Hachette. My art has appeared in international exhibitions including the outer MoMA walls.

More Than a Cover Artist

I know how messy the music, editorial and film industries can be — creative blocks, production hell, art directors with wild ideas. I’ve seen it all, and I’m here to make it easier (and better) for you.
