The Spanish Church converted into a Skatepark

A church in Asturias, Spain that was converted into a skate park just got a stunning new coat of paint thanks to Madrid-based street artist Okuda San Miguel. Known for his stunning geometric vistas, San Miguel needed to paint the Church of Santa Barbera, a.k.a., the Kaos Temple, the moment he saw it on the internet. "[The church] with a skate park is an amazing image. I fell in love with the place, because both concepts were so right together," he tells The Creators Project.

The skate park's hallowed setting is heaven for holy rollers and blasphemers alike, but San Miguel's work brings it to a whole new dimension. It was originally converted from hundred-year-old place of worship to public half pipe thanks to a crowdfunding campaign on Verkami that got picked up by Red Bull.

Ani-Human Series by Lennette Newell

Lennette Newell was born in the high plains of Kimball, Nebraska. Daughter to a large animal veterinarian, her fascination with animal behavior sparked at a young age amidst a ranch equipped with a large animal hospital. Due to her father’s profession, she began to learn the scientific ideas behind various animal mannerisms. Though as a child she also observed many other characteristics mirrored in herself, leading her to see the animals as something beyond a patient to be treated. Her curiosity with animals was augmented by her captivation with the entire natural world, from the plants growing in her yearly garden to the dramatic cloud formations penetrated by diverse sunlight patterns. Mesmerized by her environment, Lennette chose to use the art of photography to capture these enthralling aspects of life. Beginning as a commercial photographer, she specialized in advertisements containing human and animals. Simultaneously she maintained a passion to pursue fine art, constantly photographing humans and animals in original styles to reveal the beautiful personalities of living creatures. Her work has been recognized for many photographic prizes, including the International Photography Awards 1st in Pets and the Graphics Photography Annual Gold & Silver Winner in 2014, and shown in several exhibitions, for example, Leo Burnett in London, LA Art Fair, Municipal Heritage Museum, Malaga and The Fair Art Show in New York etc. Acclaim for her Ani-human series has inspired her to continue expressing the exquisiteness of animal characters in a hope to make others aware of what we might be losing if environmental destruction continues.

Aleksandra Kingo photography

Alexandra Kingo è una fotografa lituana, specializzata nella moda e nella pubblicità, che realizza scatti ironici e sicuramente insoliti. L’ultimo progetto a cui ha dato vita è “A Heart Disease Called Love“, realizzato per il magazine La Monda, in cui alcune ragazze compiono dei gesti poco convenzionali per esprimere il loro disagio emotivo. Le immagini pop, supercolorate, glamour e moderne, sono state realizzate insieme all’art director Camille Boyer.

Aleksandra Kingo is a London-based photographer from Lithuania.

Aleksandra specialises in fashion, advertising and still life, concentrating on conceptual narratives, set design and art direction. Her work is feminine, a bit awkward and full of irony. She believes that photography should be personal and loves creating dream-like worlds where lipstick stains are a blessing and bananas are pastel pink. Most of her work is based around people and their identities and she gains a lot inspiration from everyday life stories as well as popular culture.

La Spagna negli scatti di David Cardelùs

Fotografo spagnolo David Cardelús è un vero maestro nel cogliere e catturare attraverso il suo obiettivo le architetture delle città, creando delle immagini eclettiche, artistiche ed estremamente comunicative. I suoi scatti si concentrano su geometrie, colori e dettagli che ci regalano tutto l sapore dei paesaggi della sua amata Spagna.  David Cardelús si è specializzato in immagini di architettura contemporanea; il suo ultimo progetto si pone come obiettivo proprio quello di riscoprire le vie dell’Art Nouveau delle città catalane, al di fuori delle attrazioni turistiche tradizionali.

Oggetto della sua ricerca è ad esempio il lavoro di Jenori Granell, un contemporaneo dei più grandi modernisti e maestri dell’architettura catalana come Gaudí, Domènech I Montaner, Puig I Cafadalch ed Enric Sagnier, che nella sua attività si è concentrato soprattutto su appartamenti dai motivi naturali e dai colori sgargianti. Nonostante il necessario adattamento alle regole urbanistiche e ad uno stile di vita moderno, gli appartamenti di Granell conservano inalterato il loro fascino, donando un’incredibile valore storico e culturale.
