Denis Dendy – Art in 3D
In May 2024, as part of the Live Street Art Week, Russian artist Denis Dendy transformed an entire room at Teufelsberg into a surreal vision of humanity, technology, and the creative mind. The piece is titled “Techno Temple Room”—and that’s exactly how it feels when you step inside: monumental, mysterious, and digital.
Denis Dendy was born in a small village on the Kamchatka Peninsula, the easternmost region of Russia. He discovered street art in St. Petersburg, where he immersed himself in the local urban art scene, taking part in festivals, exhibitions, and collaborations with other artists. In 2022, he left Russia, traveled through several countries, and eventually settled in Berlin.
His artistic approach is clearly defined: volume, depth, and perspective. Denis merges realistic painting with geometric abstraction, experiments with 3D illusions, and uses the architecture of the space to create immersive, impactful installations. His works look like digital renderings—but they’re painted with spray cans, executed with precision and energy.
“I work in the third dimension. I start my pieces in a 3D program. For this work, I wanted to visualize the theme of the ‘creative idea.’ It shows a human made of metal—like an AI or digital entity that controls your ideas. This room is like a brain.”
With this concept in mind, Denis created a piece that stretches across all three the walls of a rectangular room. At the center, a silver, machine-like face hovers, surrounded by vivid orange energy ribbons swirling through the space. Elements seem to emerge from the walls, almost touchable. Sharp yellow lines cut through the perspective—like digital impulses in a neural network.
“This is my second mural in Germany. For me, it’s important that my art isn’t just visually striking, but that it also carries a concept.” The “Techno Temple Room” is exactly that: a space that functions like a thought chamber. Its visual language recalls sci-fi worlds, VR interfaces, or digital dreams. At the same time, the work remains open to interpretation—a human face surrounded by motion, symbols, and energy.
Teufelsberg, with its mix of history, decay, and creative revival, offers the perfect setting. With this work, Denis Dendy didn’t just paint a room—he transformed it into a visual experience that unites technology, imagination, and aesthetics.
