A sign on the 130-year-old pier at Saltburn-by-the-Sea warns people not to jump off it. On a big surf day surfers make their way to the end of the sturdy 206 metre structure and jump like lemmings into the cold, murky North Sea. Words: Simon Palmer Photos: Ian Forsyth

Assaf Iglesias

April 21, 2010 | Words By: Angela

assaf-iglesiasAssaf Iglesias recently introduced himself to Drift, and we loved his work so much that we wanted to share it with the world…

In his own words, Assaf loves “water, rice, corvettes, WW2 fighters, and 6’3″ surfboards.” His work is polarised between intensely detailed studies and blurred, use-your-own-imagination renderings that could be paintings or polaroids. Look closely and you’ll notice little twists here and there, cunning titles, and unexpected hand-wrought flourishes. Sometimes it feels like you’re looking at Assaf’s pictures from underwater, at other times through a microscope.

Check out more of his portfolio here.
