The Artwork
This artwork reimagines Madrid as a network of movement and memory, capturing the city’s spirit through its streets and neighborhoods. Rather than functioning as a navigational tool, it transforms the city’s layout into a visual narrative that invites reflection on personal journeys and shared experiences. Minimalist mapping has evolved from practical necessity to a form of decorative art, offering viewers a new way to connect with familiar places.
By distilling the essence of Madrid into a pared-back composition, the print serves as a bridge between individual memory and the broader cultural image of the city. It is ideal for collectors, travelers, and design enthusiasts who seek meaningful connections to the places they love.
Style & Characteristics
The poster features a crisp palette of blue and white, lending it a fresh and airy presence. Simplified linework and generous negative space define the composition, allowing the city’s structure to emerge with clarity and calm. The design’s strong contrast and minimalist rhythm evoke the spirit of modernist graphic art rather than traditional souvenir illustration.
This restrained approach creates a tranquil, precise mood that complements a variety of interiors. For those drawn to clean lines and subtle color, discover additional options in our blue and black-white collections.
In Interior Design
