Victor Enrich

victorenrich.com


Urban form, in all its versatility, represents the explorational core of Barcelona-based Víctor Enrich. This Catalan-born artist (1976), who attended college studies at the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB), had already manifested a big devotion to the geometry of cities during his childhood years, a passion which has evolved into his actual artistic practice. Organic deformations, heavy structures set to fly or long-distance displacements are just few of the wide range of actions that Enrich applies to “his” buildings with the aim to uncover what is hidden in every architectonic structure, a set of actions whose execution woudln’t be possible unless by combining two of Enrich’s most passionately loved fields of knowledge: Digital Photography and 3D Rendering.
