The dreamlike quality of Anxo Vizcaíno’s work feels appropriate in this moment of mental exhaustion and unrest. Especially this series called The Observatory, which he describes as  “a place between dimensions that escapes the laws of scale and physical limitations”.

To us, it feels very introspective and surreal, abstract in some of its form, yet reminiscent of a captivating dream.  The soft, black and white color palette, and space-related themes further the Spanish artist’s intriguing designs.

‘The Observatory’ is a place between dimensions that escapes the laws of scale and physical limitations. An ethereal hall made of stars and space dust, a transit area before arriving at the place where we came from. This is a collection of personal illustrations that I wanted to create about the cosmic order, the spiritual experience and our place in the vast universe.
