The intricate nature of Margritt’s drawings makes one assume that a great deal of pre-planning goes into each sketch. Yet she maintains that she works without any preliminary studies, allowing her fine-tipped pencil to intuitively map out entire architectural worlds, one stroke at a time.
Margritt began drawing as a little girl and recalls spending much of her time at school obsessively sketching in pencil rather than paying attention in class. This early obsession ultimately paid off as her professional career as an artist took off, and within eight years, she created two complex visual universes.
Her most celebrated body of work, the Futur/amas series, is built around perspective, vanishing points, and intricate architectural compositions. “This universe is fueled by cultural references, particularly science fiction and architectonics,” she explained. “The influence of futuristic cinematic aesthetics is also very present. References to the work of Giger and the films Interstellar and The Fifth Element have nourished the construction of these labyrinthine works.”
Discussing her meticulously detailed drawings, Margritt said, “My creative process is based on intuitive exploration, repetition, and freedom. I am committed to a process of continuous creation, in which the work is never really finished and could always be expanded.” Maze-like piping motifs, nuanced shading, and slanting lines create an alluring sense of depth that invites viewers to imagine themselves inside the image. At the same time, the convoluted, interwoven patterns suggest how easy it would be to lose one’s way within its dystopian setting.
