Design Through Time: Barcelona 2025

Greetings from the creative ether. It’s been some time since my last note, and in that stretch of silence, much has unfolded behind the scenes—new textures, frequencies, and designs, all gestating quietly as I recalibrate and weave the next chapter of creation. From March through April 2025, I ventured across Spain, Italy, and Greece on what could best be described as a sacred geometry pilgrimage—part design research, part soul nourishment, and wholly unforgettable. The voyage began in Barcelona, where I returned for a second encounter with Spannabis 2025, the international gathering of cannabis visionaries, healers, cultivators, and creatives. A convergence of minds and plant spirits alike.

This time, I moved differently. With the exposition as anchor, my compass also guided me toward the architectural mysticism of Gaudí, whose spirit still lingers in the city like perfume on stone. The Sagrada Familia remains an unfinished symphony—a cathedral seemingly breathing, still growing, still dreaming. Its curvilinear forms and stained-glass incantations felt less like architecture and more like a hymn rendered in geometry. Outside its sacred shadow, Barcelona itself became a living design studio: cast-iron balconies curling like botanical filigree, tiled mosaics erupting in chromatic rhythm, and alleyways that whisper art history if you know how to listen. This is a city that speaks in forms, and I made sure to document its dialect in photographic fragments.

Now back within the sanctum of my studio, those visual fragments are becoming seeds. I’ve begun distilling their essence into motifs, textures, and palettes that will echo throughout forthcoming works. Light patterns captured at golden hour, architectural symbols, even the rhythm of footsteps on mosaic pavement—these moments now sit at the altar of my next creative cycle. I look forward to revealing what’s in bloom soon.
