Chiseled doric columns, ornate arches, vaulted ceilings, staircases, and tiny sculptures within a sculpture all of this fits into miniature architectural spaces that resemble ancient and medieval ruins and sacred architecture carved into raw marble and stone. These historical sculptures are brought to life by an internationally acclaimed British sculptor, Matthew Simmonds (previously here on
Bored Panda), who currently lives and works in Denmark.
His intricate three-dimensional interiors look very real from up close until you see that they are sculptures that are often less than a foot wide. In his work, Simmonds draws inspiration from real historical buildings, but most of his works are not reproductions and offer his own take and expertise on classic architecture.
