Original artwork description:

An original, hand-drawn architectural illustration depicting a distinctive row of striped coastal buildings in Figueira da Foz, Portugal — a place known for its vibrant seaside charm and timeless Atlantic character. The piece captures the rhythm, geometry, and atmosphere of these iconic structures, blending expressive linework with clean, graphic simplicity.

Created using pencil, marker, ink, and pen on Fabriano cartridge paper, the artwork balances precision with a warm, handmade feel. Subtle touches of colour emphasize the unique façades, while the minimalist composition keeps the focus on form, pattern, and the spirit of this Portuguese coastal scene.
