You know how fantasy worlds are almost always based on (mostly Central and Northern) European Medieval aesthetic and folklore?
For a while Iāve been thinking that if we had a fantasy world made here, it would be interesting to have it be inspired by Modernisme (the Catalan artistic movement from the late 19th century - early 20th century). I mean, look at this and tell me it doesnāt have potential:
Interior of the Sagrada FamĆlia basilica, Barcelona. The stained glass in different sides of the temple are different colours, so the light changes colour depending on the hour of the day. (Photo sources x x)
Illa de la DiscĆ²rdia, Barcelona. x
Benches in Parc GĆ¼ell (Barcelona), made with the ātrencadĆsā, the typical mosaic used in many of Antoni GaudĆās works (heās one of the most famous Modernist architects, and one of the most famous Catalan architects of all times too). x
A hall in Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona. x
Ceiling of Palau de la MĆŗsica Catalana, a concert hall in Barcelona.
Lots of these things. This one is in Argentona (Catalonia, too). x
And fashion would be like this:
Stained glass in Cerdanyola, Catalonia. x
Illustrations by Gaspar Camps.
More stained glass, now in Museu del Modernisme, Barcelona. x
Modernist jewels by LluĆs Masriera (Iāve talked about Modernist jewels in this previous post). x
Interior of Casa Amatller in Barcelona. x.
Even in wood looked pretty.
And lots of cool windows inspired by nature!
And of course all kinds of windows. Light is important!
This ceiling in Palau GĆ¼ell with holes to let light in. x.
And this lamp?? Also in Palau GĆ¼ell. x.
Everything would have to be very curvy.
Casa MilĆ , Barcelona. x.
This bakery in Palma, Mallorca. x.
And I wonāt begin with the tiles to not make the post longerā¦
And for people from other countries, what element in your culture do you think a fantasy world could be based on, aesthetically?
