MARIA TERESA CLOSAS XIFRé
The roof of Casa Mila (La Pedrera)

It is full of Gaudi sculptures, with great artistic strength.
These are stairwells, ventilation towers and chimneys, which stand as guardian warriors of La Pedrera.
To soften the volumes of the stairwells, Gaudí uses curved shapes.
The stairwells, some covered with trencadís stone, marble or ceramic, recycled and monochrome, the others are plastered with lime and plaster mortar. Ventilation towers help renew the air in the attic. Chimneys (smoke vents). There is a group of fireplaces covered with pieces of cava bottles.

I live in Igualada, (Barcelona).
I do my work as an amateur artist. Always trying to convey a composition with lines, symmetries, geometries, lights and shadows, shapes and textures, etc.
I am interested in architecture.
Black and white architecture is born in the mind, and it depends on you how you see and work only on lights or contrasts, shapes and lines and see a world different from the objective real world. Depending on the inspiration of the moment, you exaggerate the differences in lights or contrasts.
