About the Artist
Created by MORYARTY, this contemporary map poster is the result of a studio practice rooted in modernist graphic design and the clarity of classic cartography. MORYARTY’s work often explores how familiar places can be distilled into essential forms, transforming everyday geography into striking visual statements. The studio’s approach values both precision and aesthetic restraint, drawing inspiration from the tradition of urban mapping as both information and art.
The Artwork
This Minimalist Map of Barcelona was conceived as a tribute to the city’s iconic grid and urban planning legacy. Rather than depicting a specific event or landmark, the piece celebrates the structure and rhythm that define Barcelona’s unique character. The artwork reflects the city’s evolution from nineteenth-century expansion plans to its present-day vibrancy, making it a meaningful keepsake for those who appreciate design, architecture, and the spirit of Barcelona. It naturally complements collections such as Barcelona wall art and map prints.
Style & Characteristics
The poster features bold red lines representing Barcelona’s streets, set against a warm beige background. The composition is highly graphic and minimalist, with crisp linear routes and a clear grid structure that stands out without unnecessary ornamentation. Negative space is used thoughtfully, giving the piece a calm, architectural mood and a sense of openness. The limited color palette and strong contrast create a visually light yet striking effect, making it ideal for contemporary interiors.
In Interior Design
This minimalist map poster is well-suited to living rooms, entryways, and home offices, where its clarity and structure can anchor a space. It complements Scandinavian, modern, and Bauhaus-inspired interiors, while its disciplined geometry can add order to more eclectic settings. Pairing it with beige walls, light oak, or black metal frames echoes its neutral ground and red accents. The piece also integrates seamlessly with minimalist posters and simple frames for a polished, cohesive look.
