Born in Barcelona, Spanish artist Jaume Plensa has created an extensive collection of large scale human figures made from cast iron that typically feature forms made out of letters and block numbers. His creative designs, having been featured everywhere from the U.S. to Europe, are simplistic in form yet overwhelmingly bold and beautiful. The pieces, all which seem to be housed in scenic areas with amazing backdrops, somehow compliment the surrounding elements without detracting, creating this unexpected element of grandeur and even a hint of whimsy.
