Mosaic serpent and Catalan colours at Parc Guell #1
Barcelona | Spain
£120
Description
Delving into the depths of Gaudi’s Parc Guell in Barcelona, this image captures the intricate beauty of one of the mosaic sculptures adorning the fountain at the park's entrance.
Encapsulated within a blue mosaic medallion, a snake's head can be seen emerging from beneath the vibrant hues of the Catalan flag. The snake, embodying ancient Greek python mythology and possibly biblical narratives, hints towards healing and medicine. It could potentially be a reference to Nejustan, the bronze serpent that Moses affixed to his staff to fend off perilous creatures in the desert. Simultaneously, the Catalan flag suggests a sense of nationalism.
Adding a pop of colour to the scene, the bright greens of the algae, which thrive in the small pond into which water slowly trickles from the serpent's mouth, appear in the foreground.
Bathed in the warm glow of the evening sun, the image vividly displays the colours of the park - the pale blues from the clear sky and the deeper hues of the mosaic tiles, the vibrant greens from the algae, and the pale yellow and reds from the Catalan flag. All of these are set against the creamy whites of the surrounding mosaic tiles.
Reflective and calming, this image encapsulates the intricate and symbolic artistry of Parc Guell's sculptures, offering a glimpse into the richness of Barcelona's artistic and cultural heritage.
