About the Artist
Mo Art Gallery is a contemporary design-led studio recognized for transforming urban landscapes and ideas into striking visual statements. Their approach emphasizes clarity, structure, and a refined palette, creating works that resonate with modern interiors and architectural sensibilities.

The Artwork
Central Tejo pays homage to one of Lisbon’s most significant industrial sites—the riverside power station that played a key role in the city’s electrification. Today, the site is celebrated not only for its engineering legacy but also as a symbol of Lisbon’s transformation, bridging its industrial past with its vibrant cultural present along the Tagus River.
Created in 2022, this artwork reimagines the power station as a source of illumination, connecting the city’s infrastructure heritage to modern notions of light and energy. It stands alongside other Lisbon posters that explore the city’s unique identity beyond traditional tourist imagery.
Style & Characteristics
The composition is defined by clean, linear forms that suggest industrial pipes and a subtle radiance. Dominated by cool blue, white, and black tones, the image conveys a nocturnal, technical atmosphere that feels both serene and precise.
Its strong contrasts and geometric abstraction align it with contemporary minimalist wall art, offering a sense of monumentality through simplicity. The print rewards close observation, revealing a careful balance between architectural rigor and tranquil mood.
In Interior Design
This modern art print is well-suited for living rooms, offices, or hallways where structure and calm are desired. Its cool palette complements materials like concrete, chrome, pale woods, and crisp white walls, and it can also create striking contrasts in darker, gallery-inspired spaces.
Pair it with other architectural, typographic, or coastal photography for a curated gallery wall, and consider a sleek option from the frames collection. The print appeals to those interested in Lisbon’s history, contemporary design, and understated geometric decor.
