it powerful and artistic work is a reproduction of a portrait in the style of Pablo Picasso's cubism, executed on a grid of ceramic tiles. It shows the abstract, fragmented facial features of the figure, with characteristic thick black lines and sharp angles, in a colour palette dominated by blue, white and earthy brown tones. The tiling is hand-painted, resulting in visible, dynamic brush strokes and slightly irregular edges between tiles, adding a charming, artisanal texture.
The fragmentation and raw, almost childlike expression capture the essence of modern art. The pattern of blue and white frames around the portrait provides an additional decorative layer.
My inspiration lay in the fusion of avant-garde art and the timeless tradition of tile craftsmanship. I wanted to capture the raw energy of Cubism in a tangible, enduring medium.
The mood is one of artistic depth, expression and artisanal charm. It is a bold, intellectual statement in any space.
This image is special in modern, artsy and eclectic interiors. It acts as a strong, cultural eye-catcher and adds a unique dimension of historical avant-garde and tactile texture to the space.
"Form in fragments; the raw energy of cubism captured in the blue, artisanal order of ceramics."
