About the Artist
Bruno Pinto da Cruz is an Architect and Illustrator based in Lisbon/Berlin who created ISOMATIC, a sequence of isometric drawings transformed into illustrations, unveiling the urban scenario in different colours and shapes.
Bruno focuses on Berlin’s iconic neighbourhoods like Kottbusser Tor, Kurfürstendamm and Oberbaumbrücke. Without any attempt at realism, these images capture the essence of such places and create a very optimistic and cheerful utopia vision of these neighbourhoods. They become playful and flooded with color, small paradises inhabited by dinosaurs, wild animals, sculptures or exotic trees. Such figures replace the real people that belong to these urban landscapes and they are somehow an artistic exploration of the imaginary of the city. They live in almost a parallel existence with each other, making the represented space more dramatic – a fantastic wonderland.

Customer Reviews
Really great and one of a kind puzzle, especially for a Berlin resident like myself :) On top of what you expect from a 1000-piece puzzle (great but very nuanced variety in colours & patterns, just the right amount of complexity), it was really fun getting to notice all the tiny details left by the artist, who captures very well the bustling, eclectic and colourful atmosphere of the Kotti area!
The added bonus: the end result is simply a really cool and artistic poster, absolutely worth keeping intact and displaying in the house!
We got to try the puzzle and had so much fun! It’s definitely a challenge but it has so many different little oddities and details to discover along the way, so it doesn’t get too frustrating . We especially loved the different sprinkles patterns which kept making us crave ice cream! Great colours and a lot of fun to put together ☺️ 10/10 would recommend!
