A 23 mil. euros decorative ceiling for the 'Palais Des Nations' in Geneva, designed by Miguel Barcelo.

The artist recently revealed the inspiration behind his brightly coloured abstract.

“On a day of immense heat in the middle of the Sahel desert, I recall with vivacity the mirage of an image of the world dripping toward the sky,” Barcelo said.

The 50-year-old abstract artist used more than 100 tons of paint with pigments from all over the world. The ceiling took over a year to produce, and Barcelo worked with architects, engineers and even particle physics laboratories to develop the extra-strength aluminum for the dome.
