Ceiling Painting.

Spanish abstract artist Miquel Barcelo spent more than a year creating the 16,000-square-foot elliptical painting for the dome of 'Hall XX' that houses the UN's Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. It is featuring hundreds of hanging stalactite shapes in colored shades - a 'sculptural' painting, invading the space of the council.
