Vila Rovira, Anna
In 1999 artist Joan Vila-Grau was commissioned to design and producethe stained glass panes for the large group of windows on the westernfaçade of the Sagrada Familia. He studied the temple itself but alsothe concept and function of stained glass windows in various works byAntoni Gaudí before beginning the process of creating the Resurrection windows, which were installed mid-2001.The Board of Construction of the Sagrada Familia Temple subsequentlyentrusted the design and creation of all the stained glass windows inthe temple to Vila-Grau and he has been working on then ever since.Joan Vila-Grau's mission is to develop a genuinely evocative symphonyof colour and light in order to create an atmosphere that envelops the entire temple. His work is imbued with his own personal style yetfulfils Gaudi's original vision: "The Sagrada Familia will bebright... It will be the temple of harmonious light."
