]]> Italian graphic designer and architect Federico Babina’s series of portraits, “Wirefaces,” proves that people don’t need much to recognize the most famous figures from history. Despite being done in a minimalistic way with wires and a handful of other shapes, the subjects in the artworks are instantly familiar.

The unusual series is a result of Babina’s constant pursuit of new ways to express his creativity. He isn’t afraid to change his style or dive into different types of artmaking if he feels so, and as a result, he is creating some impressive works.

In Wirefaces, he explores his fascination with geometrical shapes and colors while taking on familiar subjects to channel it. This includes musician David Bowie, revolutionary figure Che Guevara, scientist Albert Einstein, and several others.

“In an attempt to reach the linguistic essence of telling a face, these portraits are depleted of matter, the changing shadows are part of the composition, and the voids carry an expressive meaning,” explains Babina.

Besides 2D illustrations, Babina has reworked his Wirefaces into 3D sculptures with the help of 3D artist Daniel Giordano. These sculptures were created in a way that they are constantly changing according to the observer’s point of view. You can check them in the video below.

]]> Federico Babina is an Italian architect and graphic designer who combined his two passions and created a series of illustration called Architale. The 50-years-old, Barcelona-based artist imagined the houses owned by several fairytales characters such as Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Pinocchio or Aladdin.

“I like trying to explain the world I see through different techniques of expression,” the artist shares on his personal website. “I like the richness of the language and the diversity of its forms. I do not want to confine me in a prison of a style or shape. Drawing and illustration are for me one of the ways to recount and photograph the thoughts, feelings and emotions. Every picture has a story and every picture is a witness of a story.”

Babina has an Instagram account called fbabina where he has gathered over 12.7 thousand followers.

]]> Federico Babina is an Italian artist who is well known mostly for his architectural illustrations but is also a true film buff. His latest project DIRECTPORTRAIT consists of portraits of some of the most famous movie directors that are constructed of many elements of their films .

Babina has succeeded in reproducing everything that makes us recognize the face of each director, while incorporating totally “inhuman” elements which we do not notice at first when we look at the portrait as a whole. For example, in Steven Spielberg’s portrait there are obvious references to ET, Jaws and Jurassic Park, We could hint to details in each portrait, but it would probably quite more fun for true cinephiles to do find those hidden references on their own.

Babina describes his work as “a metaphor for cinema as a key component of the whole mosaic”. To highlight his process, he has even prepared a video in which portraits appear detail by detail, so if you know well enough the films referenced you can guess the director even before his face appears on the screen.
