We stopped by a cafe called Els Quatre Gats that was frequented by famous modernist artists including Picasso, and where he had his very first exhibition in a back room.
Later, we found a fantastic food market off La Rambla called the Mercat de la Boqueria where I was tempted by all sorts of wonderful food produce.
The energy and vibrancy of Barcelona was really inspiring and there was just so much to see. I can’t wait to go back! It is study trips like this that help keep the artistic mind inspired. I have already taken some of the mark making and textures seen into recent works such as Lioness Head 2023.
