Federico Babina – Archist

Es gibt eine Fülle von künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, mit der die Kunst unsere Vergangenheit geprägt hat und unsere Gegenwart beeinflusst. So sind Architektur, Kunst und Design eng miteinander verknüpft. Der italienische Architekt, Illustrator und Künstler Federico Babina, der in Barcelona lebt, versteht es Verbindungen immer wieder neu zu definieren.



Die Serie “Archist” besteht aus 27 Bildern. Die charakteristischen Stile, künstlerische Techniken der jeweiligen großen Künstler der Welt wie Salvador Dali, Picasso, Joan Miro, Piet Mondrian, Andy Warhol, Roy Liechtenstein, Damien Hirst integriert er in architektonische Formen und lässt sie so miteinander interagieren.



Elle:
Tell us please about yourself and your creative works! What’s your background?

Federico Babina:
I am an architect and graphic designer, but mostly I’m a curious person. I especially enjoy when the two disciplines meet and intersect. I’m fascinated by the idea of being able to blend the world of architecture and illustration. Transform the architecture in an illustration and illustrations in an architecture.

I like trying to explain the world I see through different techniques of expression. I’m always looking for new forms of language to describe the world around us. I like the richness of the language and the diversity of its forms. I do not want to confine me in a prison of a style or shape.

Drawing and illustration and make an Architectural project are for me one of the ways to recount and photograph the thoughts, feelings and emotions. Every project has a story and every project is a witness of a story.



Elle:
What’s your favourite art work?

Federico Babina:
I do not have a favorite art work. Always my favorite it is the next one, the one that I’m imagining and that does not exist yet . Each one has some element that makes it special for me.



Elle:
What advice would you give to an artist just starting out?

Federico Babina:
I think that the best advice is to not listen to advice. Trying to be free and open mind and strive to look at things from a different point of view. Show your personal vision of the world and most important do not listen to my advice.



Elle:
Where do you see yourself five years from now?

Federico Babina:
I can hardly see me Tomorrow….
Every time I did a forecast the future surprised me. I prefer live the “moment”.



Elle:
That is the best way to life. I wish you the best for the future and thank you so much for the permission.
