Brutalism Collection Story

The Brutalism Collection draws from my long-standing fascination with brutalist architecture, a style often dismissed for its stark concrete and severity. What interests me most is how something so raw can hold such presence, authority and quiet power.

Rather than recreating brutalism literally, I used it as a thematic foundation. Each piece contains a subtle nod to the movement, but the focus is on the psychological worlds that sit around and within these structures. Some works reflect the internal effects of a creative mind; others explore the external weight it carries.

My influences range from Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carrà to John Brack, artists who shaped the way I think about stillness, space and surreal tension. I paired each work with a monochrome animated vignette to extend its atmosphere, keeping the scenes simple, surreal and tied to the world each artwork belongs to.

The goal was to create a place of my own, a series of scenes that feel distinct yet unmistakably connected. A world where surrealism and realism meet grounded in structure, but living in imagination.
