Barcelona seen from Park Guell in the magical sunrise light....

In Barcelona even the houses look like a mosaic of Gaudi. :) Since I always have stylized my abstract cityscapes in a manner that remind of a colorful mosaic, in this painting I used a stylistic analogy. In the background I abstracted the city that looks like a colorful mosaic pattern and reply aesthetically the mosaic of the serpentine bench of Gaudi painted in the foreground.


I was inspired to paint this work after I traveled in Barcelona in 2010 and I was impressed by the unique beauty of this city, the richness of the colors, the incredible and unique architecture...One of the moments I'll never forget was when I saw the entire Barcelona panoramic view from Park Guell.

Park Guell is a magical park with amazing buildings, sculptures and tile work designed by Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi's work was greatly influenced by forms of nature and this is reflected by the use of curved construction stones, twisted iron sculptures and organic forms.
