Amazing Design by @fathi.arch.studio & @amirabbas.habibi [IG] 🤩

Per Carlsen | @PerCarlsen_ [IG] is an artist and architect from Oslo, who creates surrealist worlds that transcend the realm of reality. Combining his experience in art and illustration with his expertise in architecture, Per Carlsen’s illusory scenes depict a vast form of the post-human world.
Per Carlsen is an avid painter. While studying architecture, he also spends his spare time studying the state of space, where architecture and art merge. “It’s something I’m passionate about,” he explains. “It’s a big part of my career in architecture.”
Often featuring one lone figure contrasted against enormous architectural structures, Carlsen creates post-civilization scenes we might often associate with the end of the world. With this, the conversation of our growing technological dependency and the increasing climate crisis comes to the fore.
The world Carlsen creates is a paradoxical one; staggering landmarks in beautiful natural environments provide endless possibilities for human progress, and yet, there feels a grave undertone to the works. With towering high caves, undulating concrete buildings and viewing platforms, and ethereal monuments and places of worship, the architect designs something familiar but also eerily alien at the same time. Exploring these enigmas is precisely the purpose.
