Let’s Meet The Iconic Pieces
One of the key aspects of Portuguese Architecture and cultural identity is the “Azulejo“, or hand-painted tiles, which can be easily found across Portugal in different types of buildings, both inside and outside. The Azulejo is a clay or ceramic plate piece, generally with a square shape decorated with colourful designs which consist, in most cases, of Moorish patterns. However, these hand-painted tiles also often portray scenes from Portuguese History, such as episodes from the Discoveries era, recollecting memories of a distant past, and immortalizing Portuguese heritage.
The process is very intricate. The drawing is made on parchment paper that is drawn with a graffiti pen and stamped with a coal pencil in the tile. The paintwork is done with water-based paint; a powder that is mixed with water to work the density.

The painting process requires knowledge: not too watery and not too strong. The outline is made from the contour brush, and then the background is painted with a swath brush to highlight the piece. The hand-painted tile goes to the oven and the rest of the coal disappears. The process is complete.
