Excelsis Heroes: The Art of Berto Martinez Morales

In Excelsis-at the highest point-is where superheroes exist. Not only in physical space, but also on an ethicaland moral plane. Beyond their iconic appearances, superheroes embody inner strength, doubt, and emotionalcomplexity. While their visual impact is undeniable, it is their psychological and emotional depth that gives themmeaning-an aspect thoughtfully explored in Berto Martinez's illustrations. For the past two years, Barcelona-based illustrator Berto Martinez Morales has been quietly and persistentlyreinterpreting his favorite American comic book characters. What began as a personal exercise has evolvedinto a focused and expressive body of work. This book brings together that artistic journey, featuring seriesdedicated to Batman, the X-Men, and the Avengers-a collection that reflects both admiration for theselegendary figures and a distinctive, contemporary artistic vision.
