Nicholas Stathopoulos - Art Inspirited by Architecture and 2001

Nicholas Stathopoulos (Nick Stath) is an artist and architect.  His work is full of grand structures that dwarf small, lone astronaut.  In an email interview Nick explains that,

I have always had a passion for drawing and film, one of my biggest influences being Stanley Kubrick’s 2001:A Space Odyssey. I was drawn to the visionary aspect of the film and of course the black monolith - a simple, yet mysterious object that appeared to have so much power, it fascinated me and still does!

Nick’s architectural background helps him capture that large clean design that Kubrick used in 2001.  Nick’s art inspires that same sense of awe.  You can keep up with Nicholas Stathopoulos’s art on his Instagram Page,  or buy prints of his work at Redbubble.  Thanks to Ignant.

The style blends traditional Moroccan elements with contemporary Italian design, making for a wonderfully refined ambiance.

Dining venues range from intimate courtyard lounges to a spectacular rooftop terrace with pool and views of the Atlas Mountains, and the menu is a burst of Mediterranean flavors.

Photo Manipulations by Ellen Jantzen

Ellen Jantzen was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri. Her first college degree was in graphic arts. In 1992, after a move to LA California, she graduated The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising with an advanced degree in fashion. She worked for several years at Mattel Toy Company, but became disillusioned with the corporate world and longed for a more creative outlet. 

Having been trained in computer design, she set about to learn Photoshop. As digital technology advanced and cameras were producing an excellent resolution, she found her perfect medium. It was a true confluence of technical advancements and creative desire that culminated in her current explorations in the photo-inspired art using both a camera to capture images and a computer to alter and manipulate the pieces.
