ESTAU 2018

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.

With this mural the artist wanted everyone to reflect on the excessive consumption of plastic nowadays.

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.

The large-scale mural by artist Millo explores the theme of weaving with its characteristic aesthetics that show friendly inhabitants exploring their urban environment.

Estarreja is known for the presence of waterways where the colored “moliceiros” use to sail in order to fish and commerce.

The artist was inspired in the life and work of Egas Moniz, a neurologist and the developer of cerebral angiography, born in Estarreja.

Egas Moniz was the first Portuguese to receive a Nobel Prize in 1949.
