Shattered Echoes | Saw This Made This
Bombay Sapphire x Tam
I was challenged by @bombaysapphirept to create
an original piece under the theme #SAWTHISMADETHIS
inspired by traditional Portuguese motifs and the
streets of Lisbon.
My inspiration comes from traditional Portuguese
tiles and contemplating on the decadent and melancholic influence that time exerts on them in the streets of Lisbon. I also drew inspiration from the work of Vieira da Silva, incorporating the symbolism of the tiles and the visible lines of the painter into the breaks of my panel.
I tried to evoke the beauty and melancholy of bygone times.
