glimpse into the surreal, overgrown environments envisioned by paul milinski

digital artist and designer paul milinski imagines a collection of spaces, each a serene hybridization of minimalist imagined architecture and overgrown nature. the series of environments are expressed with slender, white modernism and clean interiors integrated within a sea of lush plant life and green, rocky terrain. the artist entirely curates and digitally renders both the architectural spaces and their natural surroundings, including misty waterfalls and steaming glass. paul milinski comments on his design strategy: ‘my process always starts with a sketch. all I need is a few lines to create a spark and then I follow my intuition from there. sometimes it’s a quick resolve and other times it’s a drawn-out battle.’

in the generation of his surreal landscapes and interiors, paul milinski is driven by a desire to translate a speculative ideal environment into visuals. the designer imagines spaces that could be one day recreated as installations in a physical space. ‘I would describe my work as being in a world where nature is the building and the building is the feature wall. where leaking light through leaves becomes nature’s disco ball. places where all living things are seen as equal and where human elements conform to the environment. through the juxtaposition of realities, these pieces urge us to inspire change in how we treat the earth. within the captured mood, they are designed to transport you along pathways that illustrate a potential future and offer a chance to wonder and escape.’
