Geniusbeauty would like to share with you some beautiful pictures showing his modernist individualistic architectual designs and to tell you some interesting facts about this genius.

Antonio Gaudí was the youngest of five children, but could not play with friends of his age because of the pain caused by rheumatism. He was able to walk on foot, but rarely. Because he had to stay at home for long periods of time, he learned his two greatest qualities, which allowed him to perform such architectual miracles – observation ability and analysis of nature.

Antonio Gaudí’s life lasted only 48 years, but this time was enough to create the architectural image of one of the most beautiful cities of the world– Barcelona. Exactly here, in the Catalan capital, Antonio Gaudí realized almost all his architectural concepts. I have never been to Spain, but I hope, I will visit this beautiful country some day.
