Meet the artist who transformed a neighbourhood

A riot of vibrant colours, quirky mosaics and surrealist sculptures, what may at first glance resemble a children's theme park is, in fact, a vibrant town in Cuba. Inspired by the unique designs of Spanish architect Gaudí, artist José Fuster's unusual approach to home design proved infectious with his community on the outskirts of Havana and helped transform an impoverished neighbourhood into a creative haven.
