After Closing My Business I Can Finally Create Impossible Buildings Without Clients Limiting My Imagination
This series of pictures are the result of a 7-year long journey that brought me to countries such as Latvia, Israel, and Germany. The story begins in the summer of 2006, a crucial date in my life because, after 2 years of deep thinking, I finally decided to quit as a freelance 3D architecture designer and illustrator, a job that had kept me busy for over a decade.
The job paid very well, I had plenty of customers and a very good reputation in Barcelona (I still have), but in the last period, the incoming digital art projects began to be a bit repetitive and boring. I found out that I had totally lost my motivation for it. Even, I had begun to hate 3D architectural illustration. So I began this journey with little money in my pocket that I saved from my recently closed business, but without any clear idea of what I was going to do in my life, professionally-wise. One good thing about long journeys is that, suddenly, one comes across plenty of time for oneself, so I believe that for the sake of learning as much as possible from those eventual insights, one must keep an open mind. So I tried and is one of the most important conclusions the fact that I can't be further away from hating 3D architecture art. On the contrary, I love it way much more than I would ever expect... The real problem stifling my creative ideas here was working for customers!
That is why I decided to truly work for myself and try to make a living out of whatever the hell was going to come out of my mind, without any personal or environmental limitations. The result is a constantly growing series of building designs, which I have encircled in a project called "City Portraits" which depict interesting buildings that for some reason were important to me during that long journey. Buildings that, after being photographed, were digitally manipulated to acquire an alternative form. And this is what hitherto I have been doing. Hope you enjoy these works of art!

This is an awesome use of 3D software to create impossible buildings
For some reason they saw a decline in business after the nuclear shift.
Every time this building comes up, I think "it can't possibly get any stranger than this"...and then it does.
What did this hotel do to you that you just wont leave it in peace? :P :)
There are quite cool but what fascinates me the most is how a lot of people think these are actual pictures of actually built structures...people, snap out of it !!! The buildings were created inside a 3D modelling program and rendered then carefully placed in scene using Photoshop.
Are floating! I think if architects had worked out how to build gravity defying buildings it would be all over the news! But well done for
I understand that you left your clients to do this, but why not as a side project?
A few of these do not seem impossible!!! If I hit the lottery we are going to build 2 of them!!!
the first few i believed and then they got really weird and i didn't believe it anymore
I want your skills. Figuring out how to create pictures like this must have taken a long time. :)
Good work. Some of these are excellent. Others are more like an accurate statement of urban yuck.
How much time can a bit of Photoshop take? You quit your job for this? Come on people! How can you actually believe this? Half these
