Painted ceiling details at La Pedrera with floral motifs

Motifs at La Pedrera reference nature: waves, kelp, shells, and flora. Spiritual themes are subtle, fitting an urban dwelling yet aligning with Gaudí’s cosmology.

Where to Look

  • Balconies: iron seaweed and anchors.
  • Ceilings: floral paintings and stucco.
  • Rooftop: guardians suggest watchfulness and protection.

Modernisme strives for a total work of art: architecture + decorative arts.
