About the Artist
Created by MORYARTY, this original map poster reflects the studio’s dedication to contemporary graphic design rooted in timeless aesthetics. MORYARTY specializes in transforming urban landscapes into refined visual statements, emphasizing clarity, geometry, and thoughtful composition to capture the spirit of each city.
The studio’s approach moves beyond traditional souvenir maps, focusing instead on the lived experience of place and movement. This philosophy results in artwork that resonates with those who appreciate both modern design and meaningful connections to location.
The Artwork
The Minimalist Porto Map was conceived as a tribute to the unique rhythm and structure of Porto. Drawing inspiration from the city’s iconic blue azulejo tiles, the artwork distills Porto’s intricate street layout into a harmonious and abstracted form. It serves as a visual memory for travelers, locals, or anyone with a connection to the city, offering a subtle nod to Portuguese heritage through contemporary design.

Style & Characteristics
The print features a network of crisp white lines representing Porto’s streets, set against a rich, saturated blue background. This high-contrast palette ensures the map is both visually striking and easy to read from a distance. The design is airy, with ample negative space that enhances its minimalist appeal and keeps the composition uncluttered.
The overall effect is calm and sophisticated, balancing decorative presence with graphic restraint. The use of bold color and precise linework gives the piece a distinctly modern character, making it suitable for a variety of interiors.
