Traditional Persian Rugs As Canvas To Spray-Paint Female Portraits by Mateo
Statement by the artist Mateo:
“I’ve been painting in the streets for 12 years. In 2015, during a residency in Barcelona, I started using the traditional Azulejos ceramic design that we often see in Spain, Portugal, and Maghreb in my work. I started including these colored patterns in my murals, and it became my trademark as a street artist. This led me to great interest and study of traditional crafts of different cultures around the world and their symbols. I searched for a way to link traditional arts and crafts to my paintings and urban art. Carpets are one of the most ancient, visually rich, and meaningful traditional arts that can be found. They are traditionally weaved by women, which is why I chose to represent women’s portraits on them.”

川越氷川神社 縁むすび風鈴
風が吹くと風鈴の音色が涼しげで ちょっとだけ暑さを忘れる事が出来ました。 すぐに現実の世界に戻ったけどね(笑)
前に並んでいた浴衣姿のお嬢さん。 とても綺麗だったので写真を撮らせてもらいました。
「来年はワタシたちも浴衣を着たいねー」って言ってみたものの 人一倍汗っかきなので、涼しげに着こなせる自信がありません。
