# Abstract Architectural Closeups Lino Russo's Skymetric Series Features Saturated Color Schemes By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-07-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lino-russo References: [lanciatrendvisions](http://www.lanciatrendvisions.com/en/article/skymetric-by-lino-russo-painting-the-sky-blue) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/14717593/Skymetric) Lino Russo's "Skymetric" photo series features over-saturated and architectural imagery. The graphic designer and photographer is based in Naples and has an affinity for abstract, structural details that resemble elementary geometries. These colored forms are captured against a [vivid sky backdrop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratosplash) that stands out as a blue element of negative space. This element sparks a particular interest for the artist who juxtaposes the vast nature of the sky with the calculated and artificial construction of the built environments he photographs. "The places chosen by Lino Russo have the common characteristics of appearing square and schematic, thus producing [geometric and minimalist shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residential-project-in-tokyo)." The result is a set of portraits resembling [abstract art works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color). Though seemingly random, the photographs are revealed as architectural closeups upon closer inspection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Abstract Architectural Photography:** Develop innovative techniques to capture architectural details in abstract and visually engaging ways. - **Saturated Color Schemes:** Exploring creative ways to use vivid and bold colors to enhance visual impact in photography and graphic design. - **Negative Space Elements:** Incorporating negative space as a key component to drive visual interest and highlight subjects in photography and graphic design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture and Real Estate:** Applying abstract architectural photography and bold color schemes to showcase properties and stand out in a competitive market. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Utilizing abstract architectural photography, bold color schemes, and negative space to create visually striking campaigns and brand identities. - **Art and Design:** Exploring new ways to capture and showcase architectural details as genuine works of art in photography and graphic design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Sculptural Experimental Artforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [Colorful Metaverse Cities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-cities.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Vibrant Milanese Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milanese-apartment.md) - [Ultra-Colorful High-Density Residential Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdensity-residential-design.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md)
