Excelsis Heroes: The Art of Berto Martínez Morales

Argumento

In Excelsis—at the highest point—is where superheroes exist.Not only in physical space, but also on an ethical and moral plane. Beyond their iconic appearances, superheroes embody inner strength, doubt, and emotional complexity. While their visual impact is undeniable, it is their psychological and emotional depth that gives them meaning—an aspect thoughtfully explored in Berto Martínez’s illustrations.

For the past two years, Barcelona-based illustrator Berto Martínez Morales has been quietly and persistently reinterpreting his favorite American comic book characters. What began as a personal exercise has evolved into a focused and expressive body of work. This book brings together that artistic journey, featuring series dedicated to Batman, the X-Men, and the Avengers—a collection that reflects both admiration for these legendary figures and a distinctive, contemporary artistic vision.
