natural
forms
Nature does not present any object to us in a monochrome",
thought Gaudi. He designed bright, colourful buildings,
he decorated them with broken ceramic tiles,
stained glass, wrought iron
and sandstone.
colours
textures
The natural world: organic, natural forms
became the main source of
inspiration for artistic and
constructive tasks.
religious
motives
A mood of religious commitment is present in many
of Gaudi's projects, made in his mature age.
This is particularly evident in the
Sagrada Familia cathedral.
