Rep-tiled


When visitors first arrive at Park Guell in Barcelona, they are greeted with a marvelous and colorful mosaic representation of a reptile that has been commonly described as a dragon or a lizard. The work is one of many by Antoni Gaudi, the famed artist and architect who created the Sagrada Familia and many other landmarks around Barcelona. Here, a photograph of the intricate mosaic tiles that cover the sculpture is used as the overlay for this human canvas.

Thanks once again to "Watchstock" for sharing the original photograph of the nude male model used in this project. You can see other figure studies for artists that Watchstock has generously shared in his
stock gallery.
