Antoni Gaudi was the genius behind some of the most recognizable and truly unique feats of architecture ever created. As a Catalan, his works are primarily found in Barcelona, Spain and are a huge draw to travelers and artists alike. His distinctive style was influenced by neo-Gothic art and Oriental techniques, which led him into the Modernista movement. Gaudi’s creations were influenced by his lifelong passions for religion, nature and architecture.

Seven of his works were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO and his portfolio continues to be studied and admired by architects. His body of work is nothing short of inspiring. Enjoy this small selection of some of my favorite works of his.

The windows in Casa Batlló are nothing short of stunning.

Sagrada Familia, Gaudi’s magnum opus, is still incomplete to this day but still stuns with his unique beauty.

The use of whimsical color on the exterior and the Gothic shapes create an interesting contrast.

From above, you can further appreciate Casa Milà’s intriguing shapes.

This roof line shows some of the incredible use of color and tile work he used to create wondrous works of art.

The interiors display just as much ingenuity and creativity.

Sagrada Familia looks like a Gothic castle that captures your imagination.

Many textures, colors and shapes come together to tell an eye-catching architectural story.

The works of Gaudi still inspire works of art and architecture today. His unique eye teaches a great lesson in out of the box thinking and putting your passions into your work.
