He skilfully merges multiple designs into one, creating patchwork-like artwork that celebrates the traditional blue-and-white tiles. He uses curved lines to resemble the ironwork that initially inspired Portuguese tiles. Floral patterns, as he tells Matador Network, are also a well-known feature of this art form.

“Then there’s the chromatic itself, which makes it also connected to a very Portuguese style, being white and blue. So it’s a mixture, and that also contributes to this very particular feeling of being something new versus traditional—but still keeping the traditional, but also new. It’s a cycle,” the outlet quotes him.

It’s easy to mistake his art for common tile designs, which means he’s doing a good job at mimicking the traditional parts of them. Once you’re aware of his magnificent work, you’ll spot them with ease and enjoy the playful twist he puts on them.

In the post-World War II era, the country that we know now as Germany was divided into two parts, each with a distinct government and political ideology.

Tensions between the two nations became so tense in the period between 1961 and 1989, a wall was built in the center of the German capital of Berlin to divide the two countries and dissuade people from crossing the border.

While the Berlin Wall has historically been a symbol of repression and political division, the East Side Gallery in Berlin gives a new dimension to our understanding of the wall.

The East Side Gallery, located on Muhlenstrasse southeast of the city center, is the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall that still stands. Instead of being a barrier, however, it has been converted into a public art installation full of murals extolling liberty and freedom.

The artwork present on the wall in the East Side Gallery, 105 murals in total, tells the story of the struggle for freedom in Berlin and worldwide.

You can see famous artwork representing moments such as the famous kiss between Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honeker that came to define the absurdity of the German division.

Visit the East Side Gallery to be inspired by a symbol of repression that has been totally reimagined into a celebration of freedom.

The installation is visible from the roof of the museum and from two large screens in the courtyard. It didn’t last long, though. Because it was made of paper, the whole construction tore apart on Saturday as the visitors walked over it.

The artist explained that the installation was meant to be temporary in a tweet, writing: “The images, like life, are ephemeral. Once pasted, the art piece lives on its own. The sun dries the light glue and with every step, people tear pieces of the fragile paper. The process is all about participation of volunteers, visitors, and souvenir catchers.”
