From stained-glass windows and intricate stone carvings to the arched doorway of Strasbourg Cathedral and the world-known Notre-Dame’s famous rose windows, Atkey works are more than beautiful. When creating architectural drawings, she mostly keeps her image monochrome.

Besides having a huge passion for architecture and cityscapes, she recently discovered her love for botanical illustrations as well so in her gallery, you can also find colorful bugs, flowers, and botanical gardens.

Her work has been featured in various magazines and media worldwide and she is often commissioned for her unique style. If you are curious to see more of her drawings, check out the gallery below, or have a look at her Instagram account.

“I studied and worked as an architect so my lexicon is deeply rooted in the city, structures, and urban environments,” he explained in an interview with Form Finding Lab. “Basically, I learned how to design and build through architecture, and now I can distort, exaggerate and repeat all those architectural elements that make up a building or a city and rearrange them in my drawings.”

Inhabiting a place between fine art and illustration, Mourão creates bespoke artworks and large scale murals for various private clients, galleries, and institutions, working on selected editorial commissions as well. Originally from Portugal, and now based in Barcelona, his selected clients include Apple, The New Yorker, and The Washington Post.

Drawing on paper, wood, and metal, his techniques were acquired through trial and error. “Probably the hardest thing to figure out for me was to learn to deal with mistakes,” he admits. “Being a perfectionist is a curse in disguise because it’s very easy to get lost in an endless loop of do-undo and never get to the end of a piece. That’s why I decide to work on a medium where I can’t erase or undo. With pen and paper, there’s no backdoor.
Sure… I scream and kick the wall when I make a mistake but at the end I just have to carry on and finish the drawing.”

Take a look at some of his highly detailed work in the gallery below.

Sack draws both real and imaginary cities, taking inspiration from musical compositions as well as history, cartography, and cosmology. His pieces range from small drawings to large-scale works, which can be over 12-feet long and take up to nine months to complete.

Sack’s drawings usually start with a general concept, which he then expands while blending the real with imaginary.

“Each piece is a journey, going into different worlds and seeing different things,” Sack explains. “Little details may be recognizable, but they’re built on top of something indefinable.”

So far, Sack has exhibited his works across the United States, while also having solo exhibitions in Italy and Mexico. Check out some of them below.
