Original artwork description:

PARK GUELL SUNRISE COLORS - BARCELONA, SPAIN is an original textural impressionist impasto palette knife oil painting on 3D canvas, sizes 15x15 cm ( 6x6 inches ), depth 4 cm ( 1.6 inches ). The painting continues on the sides of the canvas.

In Barcelona even the sky and 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. Then I paint the sky to look also like a colorful mosaic with myriad of colorful thick oil paint applied with palette knife.


In 2010 I traveled to Barcelona for the first time and I was impressed by the unique beauty of this city. The richness of the colors, the incredible Gaudi 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 , who's work is admired by architects around the world as being one of the most unique and distinctive architectural styles. 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.
