Overview

Antoni Gaudí, often called "God's architect," created a distinctive style within the Modernista movement, transforming Barcelona's cityscape. His work, characterized by fluid forms and mathematical precision, draws inspiration from natural creation, with columns resembling tree trunks and window frames curving like branches. Gaudí's unique approach blended neo-Gothic and Orientalist aesthetics with a commitment to Catalan identity.
