A concept design and illustration. Created in response to an open call for designing the exterior of train cars, as part of the Biennale in France 2025.
The design envisions a futuristic city, both familiar and strange, where nature and technology coexist in an unusual harmony. Organic forms blend with bizarre technological developments, balancing between geometric aesthetics.
The train is not just a means of transportation, but a journey through time. Therefore, the illustrations are built on a diagonal isometric grid, emphasizing a sense of movement and progress.
A sketch from the beginning of the work
Each train car tells a unique story, forming a world with its own unique logic: A plant engineering factory, a garden, a floating neighborhood, and an energy field. The imagery is inspired by concepts of efficiency and productivity, reflecting the modern ambition to optimize resources and maximize their use.
The color scheme was carefully chosen - bold and striking, as befits an object designed to attract attention in an urban space. Like a living advertisement for the Biennale, the design creates a visual focal point, sparking curiosity among passengers and passersby.
