Title: "Convergente". (translates to "Convergent")

ConvergentMISTAKER MAKER

The artist Add Fuel reinterprets and plays with the tradicional image of the portuguese tile in an original design.

"Convergente" is the result of a local research of 'azulejo' patterns from the city of Estarreja, that have a prominent white and blue contrast with a strong naturalistic 'art nouveau' aesthetic.

The ripped pattern areas create a dialog with the typography (also inspired by the local bombing and tags), creating a convergence of two different styles.

The artist Marina Capdevilla is inspired by the beauty that does not follow the usual aesthetic codes, like elderly people, timeless characters lost in a society in which they begin to make an effort to understand.
