Design By Álvaro Siza
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.
“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
RAPTO (The Abduction of Hippodamia) - The subject from the Greek mythology describes the kidnapping of the bride Hippodamia during her wedding by the centaur Eurytus, resulting in a battle between humans and centaurs.

DETAILS
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.
DESENHO (MAN PAINTING)
Shows someone who begins a drawing, looking on to the paper with a pen in the hand. Álvaro Siza describes the very special moment of taking the decision to make a painting, facing the white paper.
