City of Dreams: Paintings combine Warsaw's traditional architectural style with surrealism

Poland-based artist, Tytus Brzozowski, is behind this collection of paintings. After graduating from the Faculty of Architecture at the Warsaw University of Technology, he went on to work in Finland, where he searched high and low for Nordic art and design.

Hot air balloons float above a dreamlike cityscape of Warsaw's historic architecture painted in warm golden tones by Tytus Brzozowski

For the past five years, Brzozowski has been working at Jems Architects. And through his paintings, Tytus presents the city of his dreams – full of decorative buildings, narrow streets and soaring towers.

Using the elements of architecture and landscape that are characteristic for Warsaw, he creates new worlds that, despite its whimsical character, are still local.

He looks for stratifications of history, collates buildings from different places and times – "In the paintings of Tytus Brzozowski one can find intriguing, surreal elements, hidden threads and events."
