The Skin of the Landscape (Symbiosis with El Capricho-GAUDÍ)

This work explores the profound connection between human identity, nature, and the architecture of Antoni Gaudí. El Capricho ceases to be an external element and merges with the woman’s face itself: the cylindrical tower rises alongside her gaze, the roof traces the line of her eyebrows, and the tiles decorated with sunflowers transform into the texture of her skin. Birds flying toward a cloudy sky reinforce an atmosphere of dreamlike freedom, suggesting that the places we inhabit or admire ultimately end up inhabiting us as well. Architecture thus ceases to be a backdrop and becomes an extension of our identity, transforming human physiognomy into an artistic, organic, and emotional landscape. Gaudí was born in Reus, and as a tribute to the centenary of his death, I have created a collection of eight artworks inspired by his profound connection with nature. They will be displayed as a tribute to Gaudí on a traveling exhibition across various institutional buildings.
