Description
This is my ongoing series of Barcelona abstract cityscapes. I started this particular series after I traveled in Barcelona in 2010 and I was impressed by the abstract quality of the unique architecture of this amazing city shaped by the genius of Antoni Gaudi.
I painted many abstract cities oil paintings along the years and if you are interested to see them, take a look to my entire collection entitled ''Abstract cityscapes''.
When I paint an abstract cityscape, I try to capture the essence of the subject, most an inner impression, a personal perception ... The city is not rendered, but suggested into an abstract manner by lines and splashes of vibrant colors and impasto palette knife strokes. I love to paint abstract cityscapes under bold, vivid skies - yellow, pink, purple, orange, red and blue skies, sometimes skies ''inhabited'' by huge sun or full moon...
'' Describing Sagrada Familia, art critic Rainer Zerbst said >.
The Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family, commonly known as Sagrada Familia, is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi ( 1852 - 1926 ). Although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thought construction of Sagrada Familia had commenced in 1882, Gaudi became involved in 1883, taking over the project and transforming it with his architectural and engineering style - combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms.
Gaudi devoted his last years to the project, and at the time of his death, in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete. Sagrada Familia's construction progressed slowly, as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. Construction passed the midpoint in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining and an anticipated completation date of 2026 - the centennial of Gaudi's death. '' ( wiki )
