Ceramic tiles, Printed Azulejos - Signed in marker at the back // Azulejos 1 by Joana Vasconcelos is a ceramic mosaic composed of printed tiles arranged in a grid. The artwork features bold, abstract black forms with textured cross-hatching, set against a vibrant background of warm oranges and reds. The organic, free-flowing shapes contrast with the structured grid layout, creating a dynamic tension between form and order. Vasconcelos uses traditional azulejos, reinterpreting them with contemporary aesthetics to explore themes of cultural heritage, identity, and modernity. The layering of black shapes on a fiery backdrop adds depth and movement, capturing the viewer's attention with its energetic visual play.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
