Mateo Omar, also known as Arachnidoll, is a 20 year old artist from Oceanside, California. The basis of his art involves: the human form, arachnid and insect forms, use of colors, typefaces, and an air of eroticism at times.
'Using old photos I'd taken of my friends, I wanted to induce an altered state of our perception of human beings. In a way, the edited monstrous heads and limbs hold as much erotic power as their bodies do, in that the dark and alien side of them is made visible, and yet it doesn't repulse us, or at least it isn't meant to, quite the contrary.'
