Antoni Gaudi was a Spanish architect. He had designed many beautiful buildings in and around Barcelona as well as sculptures too. I would describe his buildings as pretty and mythological. They were shaped with stunning curves and waves, with balcony’s and verandas and delicately decorated with pastel colours, flowers and mosaic patterns.
Anthony Gaudí was also popular with mosaic too. Many of his buildings had beautiful, bright mosaic as decor. He also used stain glass windows a-lot, like in sagrada Familia.
He had decorated Barcelona with beautiful buildings and mosaic artwork. His mosaic is very colourful and made of small ceramic tiles to create unique patterns on his sculptures and architecture. He would use the trencar mosaic technique, which is still used today, and Gaudí was the 1st to use this technique as he used it for decor. The Trencar technique means to create mosaic patterns and shapes by bringing together broken materials like ceramic tiles, cups and plates etc. It was a recycling technique that created a stunning visual effects that he is known for doing.

Casa Batlló mosaic artworks- This is one of his most visited works. It’s design and structure seems to lie between mythology, futurism and archaeology. It’s also decorated with Trencadis mosaic, and the inside too; being made up of blue ceramic fragments to look like water falling down through the light-well.
I had visited here myself and got to see the beautiful attraction in the flesh. It truly was well-designed and stands out a lot from everything else.
Park Güell Mosaic Designs – This is a stunning park designed by Gaudi himself. Also known as ‘Fairytale Garden.’ His beautiful mosaic designs here are the giant salamander which lies at the entrance of the park, and the stunning multicoloured balcony.
