Julieta Martin
January 2022
"The neutral palette became a key factor for the entire project and is consistent all throughout the different scenes. The only bright colors I included are those found in nature, such as the sky or the vegetation."
Kirill Chernyy
February 2022
"A photorealistic streetscape that properly conveys the atmosphere of a big city like New York is the pinnacle of our industry! In terms of complexity, you cannot aim much higher."
Claudia Luehl
March 2022
"Every element of this piece adheres to this holy and innocent aesthetic: the crown of white roses, the lamb, and the golden halo; it all adds to the boy's saint-like appearance. Which then is heavily contrasted by the bloody knuckles."
Ruming Cao
April 2022
"Foggy Interior is firmly rooted in photorealism. Driven by the desire to create a more detailed scene, he paid extra attention to the various materials found throughout the room."
Piotr Kostyla
May 2022
"I wanted to create a relaxing space and atmosphere, a place you would like to enter to sit and rest. I also knew that it had to be a sunny summer day because that is when nature shows us all its beauty."
Gabriela Mazur
June 2022
"The central idea was to merge the mystical Mayan civilization with the aesthetic of ancient Rome. Imagine yourself lost deep within the jungle and suddenly stumbling into a place like this – that is the atmosphere we were going for."
Darqviz Studio
July 2022
"Making use of the techniques of photorealistic CGI gives us a powerful tool to create virtual images and tell a narrative that aims to inspire the viewer. Every now and then you can also find some easter eggs in our images."
Arthur Cavalcanti
August 2022
"With the wood and terrazzo floor serving as the baseline for the latter. Some of my more noticeable changes include the various panels on the wall, the ceiling, and the lighting."
Fabricio Rezende
September 2022
"‘The Leprechaun’ was my attempt to develop a mythical creature while heavily humanizing its features. This allowed me to combine my aesthetic affinity for mysterious creatures with a narrative of social awareness."
Serhat Sezgin
October 2022
"I was free to design the area without any limitations. The café consists of two floors, with a dining area, cafe, and bar on the ground floor, and VIP dining areas and rooms on the upper flow element."
Francisco Cuevas
November 2022
“We live in a time where we sometimes feel the need to wind down and disconnect from technology completely. The elegant and natural vibe of the room was actually inspired by a hotel I stayed at in Tulum, Mexico!"
Karnvir Gulati
December 2022
“ ‘Zen Space’ is an attempt to perceive and portray the eponymous meditation practice central to many Buddhist schools."
