Sagrada 3.0

…the story behind the obsession!

When I first visited Barcelona, I didn’t expect it to change my view on art as much as it did. But seeing the Sagrada Familia Cathedral and other works of art by Gaudí, opened my appetite for what I call “puzzle painting”.

Those of you who have visited the cathedral and were lucky enough to see it on a sunny day will know that the energy is absolutely magical. I could stay there for hours staring at the light breaking through the stained glass windows. That is when I knew that if I could only catch 1% of that magic on my canvas, I would be able to bring the divine into this world.

I ended up working 1 year on my first Sagrada. Not as long as Gaudi, but similar to him, I’ve poured my soul into every corner of the composition. What does Sagrada 3.0 bring new to the table? A different technique that allows me to finish the painting in less time, a second layer of canvas for a 3D effect and the blackest black resin to remind you that even in your darkest moments, there is still magic inside of you.
