Azulejos
This series of work is inspired by the detailed tile work seen throughout Portugal. The intricate patterns and color palettes of the tiles are symbolic of the energy and spirit that make up the culture of Portugal. The pieces in this series are small moments in time and memory collaged into a personal narrative. Drawn to the decorative designs of the tile work, I created stencils that were used in the making of the pastel drawings and later used in the collages.
