My work is largely associated with its intrinsic connection to tin-glazed Portuguese Tiles (aka Azulejos) but, one of the most satisfying directions I love to delve into is different cultures and traditions, the so called ‘out of the comfort zone’. Here are quite a few patterns that I have designed throughout the years that are not Azulejo inspired:

1. From 2013 / AZ35b / Inspired by the Zellij tiles from Morocco.
2. From 2013 / AZGR1 / Inspired by the iconography present in the Ancient Greek amphoras.
3. From 2015 / RSML06 / Inspired by the traditional mid 1700’s Norwegian folk art of Rosemaling.
4. From 2017 / AZ236 / Inspired by the Spanish (and European, and America wide famous) hydraulic tiles.
5. From 2018 / AZ248 / Inspired by the Art Nouveau movement and one of its most beautiful earth-toned palettes.
6. From 2018 / AZ66 / Inspired by the vibrant colours and motifs of the beautiful African continent.
7. From 2019 / PRS Series / Inspired by the hydraulic floor tiles found in Paris.
8. From 2019 / KOK Series / Inspired by Kokliai bas-relief tiles from Lithuania.
9. From 2020 / AZ364 / Inspired by the Art Nouveau movement on a blue-toned palette.

I hope you enjoyed this different imagery and info. Let me know in the comments which one of these ‘out of the box patterns’ is your favourite and btw… what style should I design next?!
As always, thank you all for your continued support.

‘Much like torn paper, Love weaves joy from imperfections. Each detail tells a story of shared vulnerability, laughter, and endurance.
When your heart is held by someone else, an intricate connection unfolds, embodying the extraordinary alchemy of Love; the transformation of life’s fragments into a mosaic of enduring bliss, reminding us that true beauty lies in the stories we create together.‘

Each print is truly special and one of kind. Every single print is put together from two screen print editions, ripped and glued together, in classic ADD FUEL blue tones with a gold accent in the center and two of the corners.
I hope you enjoy this edition half as much as I did creating this for you.
Happy Valentine’s Day and thank you all for your continued support.
