Azerbaijani artist Orkhan Isayev has an impressive illustrative series called Utopia, where he explores famous landmarks through a retro-futuristic lens.

We see Sagrada Familia, the Sydney Opera House, the Eiffel Tower and more in his signature muted colors and flying car aesthetic. Rome’s famous colosseum is surrounded by flying cars and futuristic skyscrapers.

The illustrations look like they’re from the early 1980s, or 2080, depending on which lens you’re viewing them through.
