Description
If the Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi and the painter Pablo Picasso had a son together he might have grown up to be Jose. Fuster. Jose Rodriguez Fuster is Cuba's most celebrated ceramic artist. Over the last thirty years he has transformed his home into an art project he has titled Fusterlandia. The entire community surrounding Jose Fuster's studio and home is decorated in Fuster's unique style of mixing painting and ceramic and it is utterly surreal.

in Mexico a home with many ceramic tiles is considered to be a wealthy family. In Mexico City there is a "House of Tiles" that use to be a residence but is gift shops and small offices. great capture

Gosh, Mark, how very exciting! Such a lot to see and examine, and although I shouldn't like to live opposite, it is most enjoyable.

Pretty wild. There are a surprising number of people around the world who have built bizarre, eccentric structures like this. I have a book called "Fantasy Worlds" (Taschen) that features dozens of them, though not this particular one...

i love this place, and great description ("If the Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi and the painter Pablo Picasso had a son...") Perfecto! (I don't know a jot of spanish, except for a handful of words...) I love the whole concept. I love that he did this to his house, and it spread to the neighborhood like a laughing virus. I'd live here! I'd only heard of Fuster, no more, and now I want to get to know his work. I tried to translate some of the spanish, btw (online translators), and I got as far as the bottom right---something like "It is the best way to be free"...If he means that creating art like this is the best way to be free, he got me at "es". And I have to say, I like the pic a lot, because it moves from left to right and just piles-on on the right, esp in full view. (Dare I say it's another example of how you let things get really intense on the bottom of a shot? Only here's it's the right end...let me think it anyway!) Another super tasty chunk from you. (The piece ends with a no parking sign and the part of the wall that faces us. I like it. Good end of sentence.) It would be great if, when you went inside, it was drab and filled with old office furniture...
(my grandfather would call this "ungepotched". Or "fermisched". You know the words...Or "oy, from diss you could get a migraine...")

Casa de Azulejos is the house in Mexico City. It actually means the house of Blue tiles and indeed was a sign of wealth. This takes it up a notch to uber-creativity.

I would totally live across the street from this place. I'm sure I would see something new every day, and grow to love it. Or hate it. Depending upon my mood. I can easily imagine me on a too-early morning (I'm not a cheerful morning person) saying to that wall, "Shut UP!!!" Besides, nobody would ever have trouble finding my house. "I'm just across the street from ... " :)
