Floral Blue Azulejo Tiles Revealed (2024)Watercolour by Irina Kurganskaya

"Floral Blue Azulejo Tiles Revealed" is the first painting from the series "Revive, Respect, Retain".
"Revive, Respect, Retain" is a series of watercolor paintings designed to draw attention to the vital importance of protecting and preserving the unique and ancient artifacts that form our sfhared history. Through this series, I aim to highlight the beauty and significance of historical items, ranging from simple, everyday objects to rare and valuable treasures.

In our fast-paced, modern world, it's easy to overlook the importance of preserving our past. Many historical artifacts are neglected or altered in attempts to modernize them, causing us to lose touch with the rich stories they tell. "Revive, Respect, Retain" seeks to counter this trend by revealing the hidden beauty and cultural value of these artifacts, urging us to honor and protect them for future generations.

The first watercolors in this series will feature the renowned Portuguese azulejo tiles. These intricate, hand-painted ceramic tiles are a significant part of Portugal's cultural heritage. By showcasing these tiles, I aim to highlight the delicate process of restoration and the importance of preserving the authentic beauty of historical artifacts.

"Revive, Respect, Retain" is more than just a series of paintings; it's a call to action. By appreciating and preserving the unique and ancient artifacts that tell the story of our past, we can ensure that their legacy endures. Join me on this journey to uncover, honor, and protect our shared history through the delicate and expressive medium of watercolor.
