There is nothing that makes Mario Olvera feel more at home than photo retouching. With immense dedication to his personal projects and nearly a decade of experience working for clients such as Tecate, Neutrogena, and Banorte, he has become a true expert in photo compositing, garnering attention from big names like Adobe. The software giant featured his work on its website's home page, making him the first Latin American artist to meet this milestone.

Olvera draws inspiration from science fiction, video games, and fantasy films to create hyperrealistic photomontages characterized by vivid color and meticulously crafted detail.
