ARTIST’S PROFILE

A video portrait of Maria, a local artist, who is teaching the art of azulejos - traditional painted ceramic tiles in a small village of Estoi, Portugal.

Using a documentary approach I wanted to show the artist’s process and experience of ceramic painting and its place in Portuguese culture. The goal was to explore how tourists visiting a foreign country can have a more meaningful experience with local culture and support local artists.
