The canvas “Rehabilitem Sant Pau per construir Barcelona” was designed to explain the modernisation of the historic Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site.
The graphics are based on the idea of recovering the great art nouveau space to give it a contemporary use. This modern use is of the historic legacy is reflected by the design of contemporary tiles inspired by the Modernist patterns of the original tiles.
The need to clean the facade added to the desire to recover the Halls for public use. In this piece, the black gives way to the colour of what is hidden beneath the surface, in a metaphor for the colourful and joyous future that this recovery was to bring to the city.
