Lisbon - Architecture of Memory
2026
Mixed media on screen
Dimensions: 90 × 50 cm
Original and unique work
In this work I sought to capture not only a view of Lisbon, but also the way in which memory transforms the city. The buildings appear fragmented into geometric planes, while the National Pantheon emerges as an almost timeless presence, suspended between reality and evocation.
Unlike many of my other series, in the urban landscapes I primarily use brushes and paintbrushes, seeking to build successive layers of color, transparency, and structure. The vertical lines that run through the composition suggest movement, the passage of time, and different planes of observation, while the geometric elements function as fragments of an image in permanent reconstruction.
I am interested in exploring the tension between order and spontaneity, between the physical architecture of the city and the emotional architecture of the memories that inhabit it. Lisbon thus emerges not as a concrete place, but as an experience made of light, memory, and identity.
