Annibale Siconolfi, also known as Inward, is an Italian artist and architect who makes complex 3D models of futuristic cities and landscapes. His cities combine nature and technology and draw on science fiction films and contemporary architecture. They touch on issues such as global warming, overpopulation and pollution. He works mainly with Cinema 4D and OctaneRender.
Siconolfi studied architecture in Rome and began using 3D software during his university studies. He also produced electronic music for many years, and took up sound design at the age of 16. He cites architects including Le Corbusier, Antonio Sant'Elia and Étienne-Louis Boullée as influences. Discovering the science fiction work of Beeple and Paul Chadeisson led him to use 3D software more artistically, after having mainly used it for architectural visualisation.
