I am back from wonderful and relaxing holidays in Barcelona. I've recharged my sun batteries after bad summer in North Europe. It was very inspiring trip. I've discovered new tastes
and was once again enchanted by fairytale like, full of fantasy architecture and art created by Gaudi and Dali.
Walking in their footsteps, with small breaks for tapas and cold cava, I was thinking about creativity and innovation. I am sure they didn't use those words but both Dali and Gaudi broke the rules, overcame the limitations and created something different, something that takes to the new level of artistic experiences - something that is extremely innovative and creative, something that is different from the rest.
My favorite example is Dali's lamp from his summer house in Port Lligat. He got once a stuffed bear from his friend, and he transformed it into a 
lamp and stock holder. Awesome.
Dali's surreal installations, his house, Gaudi's fairytale world of buildings, sculptures, furniture was very inspirational to me. Their works inspire to opening your mind, and to use the modern terminology, enter into the blue ocean, zag when other zig, to look step further and never be afraid to explore the reality.
Here is the recipe for being creative :-) dedication, hard work, touch of craziness and not fearing to open normally closed doors and being high on life.
