Can a work of art be a building ?


ARCHIST is a playful interpretation of the expressive language and aesthetic of some ofthe most popular artists. I enjoyed creating 27 "paintingsprojects" which represented 27different artists.


There is a Symbiotic Relationship an implicit partnership between Architecture and Art,different art branches meet in many fields.Art and architecture are disciplines that speak and lightly touch each other, the definitionand function of the architecture are changing constantly with the development ofcontemporary art.


In this exercise of style I took pleasure imagining architecture steeped of art, designedand constructed through the interpretation of an artist’s language.Art, architecture and sculpture are historically linked by an unbreakable thread, we findexamples of paintings and sculptures having a direct influence on architectural design. It iseasy to find the art hidden behind an architectural shape or see reflected a geometry of abuilding painted on a canvas. It is impossible to conceive of the history of art in exclusionfrom that of architecture.


Painting sculpture and architecture have always been complementary disciplines thatinfluence each other and feed to grow and develop along common paths. A sculpture islike a micro-architecture, a facade can become like a painted canvas and a building can beshaped as in the hands of a skilled sculptor.I like finding the hidden architecture in parallel universes, in this sense, the illustrationhelps me to explore alternative languages.I tried to imagine how it would have been a house designed by Dalí or a museum designedby Miró.These images represent an imaginary and imagined world of shapes that uses the brushto paint architecture.
