Architecture: Visions of Madrid

Just like New York, Madrid has been shaped by architects that have nurtured the colective imagery of the city through different iconic buildings. Antonio Palacios’ work is an example of this phenomenon. His eclectic style combines elements of plateresque, Viennese secessionism, and the Chicago School, all captured by the photography of Jesús Chamizo. His photographs highlight and transform the arquitectural elements, creating compositions in which the buildings are presented in unconventional ways. These images mimic the viewer’s experience of discovering the most emblematic works of Antonio Palacios.
