For this series of visual explorations, I decided to reinterpret details of the interiors of some of Carlo Scarpa's architectural pieces. Last year I was fortunate enough to visit some of Carlo Scarpa's interiors and gardens and I immediately validated that he was a master of his craft.
Known for his use of materials, particularly his ability to combine different textures and finishes to create rich and complex surfaces. Even in the most hidden corners, the most invisible steps, and the least expected handrails, Scarpa was always present with mosaics, detailed carvings and delicate metalwork added a sense of depth and texture to his spaces.
For this series I loved using visually tactile textures such as play-do and cement. I emphasized the perfect union of pieces molded in detail, similar to Japanese wood joints. Lastly I was also inspired by Ellsworth Kelly pieces which I used as a reference for the application of color, balancing the texture with bold and vivid colors.
Here I show you a couple of references I used for this project of things I love, melted textures, colors, joints, etc.
I have created these images using digital tools such as C4D which has allowed me to have full control in the art direction to create these images. The development of 3D images is a totally different process than the generation of images through artificial intelligence and this technique requires a technical knowledge of the programs.
