The Three Colors of the Lighthouse (Blue) by Bartosz Domiczek
Bartosz Domiczek's "The three colors of the lighthouse" is a personal project aimed at portraying the old & abandoned maritime object which becomes transformed into a contemporary house. Three colors are the three settings in which it is presented. All of them are a bit turpistic, cold, windy and smell of sea salt. The mentioned colors are: red, white and blue. No sophisticated symbolism here, just pure emotions. The "Red" is a low tide sunset setting, "the White" invites a viewer into the an overcast winter day whereas "the Blue" is simply a dusk after a storm.
The design is a kind of fancied, imaginary architecture. It could exist but few designer has a chance to get this sort of commission on some day. Here is the place where computer graphics come with help and I find it to be crucial to pursuit this kind of personal projects since it's what feed an artist within. This project becomes thus a study of a structure, space and harsh nature. It's about finding the correspondence between abandoned building and its natural surrounding so as to conceive from it an idea for further development of the object.

The inspiration is in the project's surroundings. It's a fictional place but it's not hard to imagine a salty smell of a sea and hearing gulls outshouting waves. Once eyes are being opened in this dream, one can complete this scenery with a white cozy house next to a sunny beach. However, I want to see there ragged rocks, a dead seabed or sharp slabs of ice. This is the site I wanted to give a testimony with a building creation.

The style is not easy thing to gain and sustain in professional arch-viz. However, the perfect architectural visualization for me does tell a story. A story that's oblique and uncertain but - anyway - it's a story. A story about a building itself, about a site, about people who will come in or pass by. And it's not to be placed during the beautiful and sunny opening day when everybody's proud and happy but rather many years later when the first decays emerge. It may sound like some fortune-telling for buildings and certainly it's not a commercial attitude so I rarely have an opportunity to pursuit it. I think that it is, however, the style I would aspire to.

Attempt to keep up the spark of fascination in what you do. Try the things you don't know, make mistakes, stray. I like two things about my work attitude (it's nothing deliberate, just happens like this). I'm nearly always utterly happy about my work when I'm close to finishing it but several months after it's ready, I start to get really critical about it. It's a positive feedback that keeps me going in creation stupor. And I'd wish it everybody.
