Original artwork description:

"Colorful Mosaic Park Guell Barcelona" is a Textural Impressionist stylized cityscape palette knife oil Painting on stretched canvas 20 X 20 cm (8 x 8 inches).
This miniature cityscape was realized in impasto technique, with heavy textures of oil paint applied with a diversity of palette knives.

This painting is inspired by my recent trip to Barcelona, earlier this summer. Park Guell is one of my favorite places in Barcelona.... I recall how much I've dreamt to visit it, during the architecture classes when teachers described us the beauty of Gaudi's creation. It is always a far more powerful experience when you can see it in person.
My approach for this painting consists of a compositional analogy, therefore I have rendered the urban pattern in the background as a sort of colorful mosaic, in my usual stylized manner of depicting the architecture of a city.

I have always loved to approach my urban paintings in a myriad of ways. I enjoy stylizing architectural forms in various manners. This has always been one of my goals, even a preoccupation from the time I was studying at the school of architecture until the present. The versatility of oil paint along with my prototypic work with palette knives allows me to play with the urban forms abstracting the city in an unconstrained manner.
