Surreal architectural designs by Massimo Colonna

Discovering the work of Massimo Colonna is like a hypnotic and enchanting dream you never want to wake up from. His minimal and surrealistic sceneries captivate you, and his use of pastel colors creates a visually pleasing world you wish became a reality.

With photography as his background, Massimo is able to use his passion for new technologies to render architectural spaces that display his untamed creativity and imagination. His body of work is a never-ending fantasy that showcases his unique vision and sense of space, it is through these that he presents us his essence as a digital artist.

Massimo Colonna’s Non Gravity series are a collection of linear and simple architectural settings, inspired by buildings such as Luis Barragan’s “Casa-Studio” and Ricardo Bofill’s “Muralla Roja”. In Non Gravity, Massimo Colonna uses the colors and natural shadows of the buildings to interact with the subjects of these images which are immortalized to create moments of (non) gravity.

Whether it is through architectural structures, abstract landscapes, or surreal spaces, the digital artist will leave us speechless with his mesmerizing work of perfectly pastel-colored buildings, captivating settings, and clear blue skies. He was inspired by exotic landscapes in the Ambiguous series, which project us into warm places where the sun traces defined lines, cutting large spaces divided by walls and arches.

Massimo Colonna: “Usually, I start with an idea, which will not necessarily be the subject of the image or series, sometimes it’s just a feeling of what I would like to create. Then I start to create volumes until I’m satisfied with the result, starting to combine colors with shapes. For the colors, I sometimes take inspiration from images that I find online, from movie scenes, from paintings or even plants”.
