As paragens onde o tempo habita

As Paragens Onde o Tempo Habita is a series of mural illustrations created specifically to celebrate the designation of Couros as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While working, I immersed myself in studying the history, architecture, and cultural significance of Couros. Understanding the essence of this place—its past, its traditions, and the layers of time that shaped it—was essential to visually capturing its identity.

Fieldwork played a fundamental role in this creative process. Walking through the streets, observing the textures of the buildings, and absorbing the atmosphere allowed me to connect with the space on a deeper level. These firsthand experiences provided insights that no book or archive alone could offer.

This project reaffirmed the importance of thorough research in illustration. Once completed, the digital illustrations were printed and installed as murals, allowing the artwork to merge seamlessly with the space. By blending history, culture, and artistic vision, these pieces seek not only to honor the legacy of Couros but also to invite viewers to reflect on the passage of time and the stories etched into its walls.
