Panot of Barcelona
The Panot of Barcelona on a Unique Canvas
This small 30 x 30 cm (approximately 8 x 8 inches) canvas celebrates the iconic Panot, the distinctive tile that has become a symbol of Barcelona. Designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and originally created for the Casa Amatller, the Panot has transcended its functional purpose to adorn the streets of Barcelona, especially in the historic Eixample district. Among the more than twenty tile designs found in the city, the floral Panot stands out as the most iconic, representing Barcelona’s architectural and cultural charm.
Each artwork in this series is entirely handmade and features a textured surface created using mixed techniques and acrylic paints. While inspired by the same design, every piece is one of a kind, showcasing its own distinct personality. The series is not limited, but each canvas is carefully numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity, ensuring its exclusivity.
These artworks are not just decorative pieces but also meaningful expressions of Sergio Aranda’s artistic philosophy. As a Spanish painter from Barcelona, I draw inspiration from the themes of time, corrosion, and the beauty of imperfection, influenced by the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi. I believe in finding beauty in the aged, the incomplete, and the imperfect—concepts I translate into my art.
The textured layers and weathered details in my paintings echo the passage of time and the resilience found in imperfection. Each piece tells a story, inviting viewers to reflect on the transformations of life and the beauty hidden in the unexpected.
Whether as a memory of Barcelona or a meaningful gift, this artistic interpretation of the Panot is a perfect addition to any home. The paintings are shipped quickly and securely via DHL, ensuring they arrive safely to their new destination.
Bring the spirit of Barcelona into your space with this one-of-a-kind creation, blending history, craftsmanship, and the poetry of impermanence.
