I wanted to try and be a little more free and less meticulous as Picasso often had, using the colours and 'because, why conform' spirit that Gaudi had evidently utilised throughout his architecture in Barcelona.
I decided to just get to it, and see what happened, using a new brief as subject matter I began to put some of the ideas down on paper.
After working in blacks and grey tones for so long, it was refreshing and actually quite therapeutic to just go at a canvas with no barriers or rules.
After a while I ended up with a few pieces that formed the basis of my 'fishtank' idea.
A free hand was let loose.
I painted the way I wanted.
Because I could.
And was surprisingly pleased at these results.
The inspiration is quite apparent and I was left feeling quite content at getting my own interpretations of Barcelona down as a visual instead of just an idea.
Ideas that grew.
