3D Render
Between Real & Surreal
In short
This project blends reality and imagination through a surreal 3D environment built in Blender. I created an architectural scene that feels evokes curiosity, wonder and the desaire of a well deserved vacation.

Design Process
Research & Inspiration: Observation of natural light behavior and architectural compositions that blend minimalism with dreamlike elements.
Modeling: Built from scratch in Blender, focusing on clean geometry and intentional composition.
Texturing & Materials: Developed custom materials to enhance realism while retaining a stylized aesthetic.
Lighting & Rendering: Employed cinematic lighting techniques to create mood and draw attention to key elements.
Art Direction: Balanced surrealist tones with grounded architecture to invite reflection and exploration.
Outcome
A visually immersive 3D scene that captures a quiet tension between the familiar and the fantastic. The work invites viewers to pause, reflect, and question their perception of space—hinting at the invisible narratives found in the micro and nano-scale of our world.
