Inspired by the traditional Portuguese art of tilework, „Azulejos definitivos“ takes a generative approach on the original handwork.
At its core, this artwork embraces simplicity and symmetry, while simultaneously allowing for endless possibilities and variations. A single tile serves as a building block, contributing to the overall composition of the larger arrangement.
A basic, often repetitive, unit is arranged in a systematic manner to form intricate and visually mesmerising compositions. This principle is based on the idea that when small elements are repeated and combined in various ways, they can generate a sense of harmony, rhythm, and complexity.
Moreover, through the manipulation of color, resolution, complexity, and tile size, this principle provides abundant opportunities for creating optical illusions and engaging perceptual effects. These effects can include the presence of hidden images within the pattern. ---
