David Mateo Art | Participation in the Target Prize 2026

One Step Further in Analog Hyperrealism

My work has been recognized in high-level international competitions, validating my dedication to handmade hyperrealism. In 2025, my original artwork "Batallarte" was selected from over 1,900 artists worldwide to be part of the physical exhibition of selected artists at the historic Ateneo de Madrid.

Target Prize 2026 | New Participation

This year, I am participating again in the Target Prize 2026, consolidating my presence in this important international competition. The artwork I am presenting reflects my commitment to the deliberate slowness of manual work and authenticity in contrast to automated digital creation. You can see the official Instagram post here.
