2016 Mosaic Murals Design Trend

Spain is not only acknowledged by the mosaics of the Alhambra in the South of the country, but also it has been recognized by the modern mosaics of Barcelona in the North. These modern mosaics were perfectly crafted to ornament the most magical buildings and parks today. This movement was led by highly individualistic and anti-traditionalist Catalan architects Lluis Domenech I Montaner, Antoni Gaudi and Joseph Maria Jujol who were attempting to update Catalán arts and ideas so as to catch up to the rest of major European cities. The most famous of these three is certainly Gaudi whose magnum opus, the church of La Sagrada Família is yet to be completed after more than one hundred years of construction. The most significant quality of these architects’ work is the seamless integration of architecture, sculpture, stained glass, ironwork and of course mosaic art.
