Alonzo Serai creates erotic and esoteric realms of fantasy that take their source in Art and popular culture from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and run into the modernity of BDSM and fetishism.

Alonzo Serai sweeps away sexual and racial barriers in his artworks and novels, mixing multiple and very different influences... The Arabian Nights, the Marquis de Sade, spicy pulp magazines adventures and sci-fi stories, Ponson du Terail and Gustave Le Rouge, Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Philip José Farmer, erotic books from the Librairie Artistique et Parisienne, Painters of the Orientalist school, Comics of Charles Moulton, John Willie, Wallace Wood, and Georges Pichard, Angelique and Ilsa movies, Blaxploitation…

In his Valley Series, Alonzo Serai brings the Western fantasy of the Harem to its paroxysm, and combines it with modern Domination/submission games.
An exploration of the power of atavism and the dehumanization tendancies of our societies, made where all this roots: sex.
