mendezmendez — The Present

891 daily digital collages by Chema Mendez, one per day since January 2024

Tier A · StrongPortfolioGalleryProfilemendezmendez.com

The Present is the daily-art archive on Chema Mendez's (mendezmendez) own portfolio site: one new digital collage every day since January 2024, presented as a single dense chronological grid. Each piece merges public-domain paintings and illustrations, photography, 3D renders, AI-generated imagery, and the artist's own sketches into surreal, conceptual compositions with blunt one- or two-word titles ("Pixel Poisoning", "Corruption Engine", "Brain Fog", "Feed Poisoning"). The site also carries his other series — Entropy, First Impressions, Vanitas, Signature Series, Singularity, Alien Intelligence, Principia, CUBIQUE, Robert Mallary Portraits, Azar, and 2009-2020 — plus About, Shows and Contact. It is a visual-reference archive, not a downloadable asset library.

For an agent

Treat this as an art-direction mood source, never as an asset source — every image is the artist's copyrighted work and the page is a plain Squarespace image grid with no API, no alt-text semantics beyond the title, and no download rights. Reach for it when a brief asks for surreal digital-collage, glitch, or techno-melancholy visual language and you need a coherent 891-piece corpus to point a human art director at, or to mine the title list for naming and copy tone. Do not scrape it into a generator or reproduce a piece; link to the work and credit Chema Mendez instead.

Why it is here. It is one of the most sustained daily-practice archives in digital collage — nearly 900 consecutive pieces on one voice — which makes it far more useful as a style reference than any single hero image. The single-page chronological grid also happens to be a good study in how to present a very large body of visual work without pagination.
