ART WORKS

COLLABORATION OF ARCHITECTURE AND ART

In this work I analyze the existing architectural landscape of Saint-Petersburg. For my investigations I took a residential complex and created a realistic painting, which has precise segmentation of plans and rationally spread accents.

To begin with, I imagined the buildings of this complex as simple forms: squares, rectangles, ect. Then I used grisaille technique to show the 1st, 2nd and other plans. As a result, I got a clear understanding, which parts of the complex are paramount and which are secondary.

Afterwards I used the same strategy, but in colours. It allowed me to make an accent on the main parts and shadow the secondary ones.

Following that I made a collaboration of grisaille and colours. Moreover, I added details, which led me to the final canvas.
