Álvaro Siza started drawing at the age of six. With a great variety of drawings on his portfolio, many of them are inspired by mythology and historic scenes. Within this context, Álvaro Siza selected for MOR the three drawings he likes the most: DESENHO, CAVALO DE TROIA and RAPTO.
“The drawings are what came to my mind in this very moment. I like mythology and expressing the stories in images. I have made a lot of mythological drawing in my life.” – Álvaro Siza
The original drawings were made using a ballpoint pen (CAVALO DE TROIA and DESENHO) and a pencil (RAPTO), all on white paper. However, for the screen prints, instead of having the drawings simply printed on a white background, Siza opted to add soft colours on each drawing, enriching the visual experience.
RAPTO (The Abduction of Hippodamia), inspired on Greek mythology, describes the kidnapping of the bride Hippodamia during her wedding by the centaur Eurytus, resulting in a battle between humans and centaurs.
Made using the screen printing technique, also known as silkscreen. Each image is sold individually and unframed.
