Portugal

Description Portugal – Illustrated Vintage

A warm and nostalgic vertical illustration that combines the sea, historical architecture and national identity, evoking the maritime and poetic soul of Portugal.

🟩 Upper part:

The composition opens with the flag of Portugal : half green and half red with the Portuguese coat of arms in the centre (shield with castles and crosses).
The sky is golden and clear, with light orange hues from the sunset over the Atlantic.

🏰 Central part:

The visual protagonist is the Belém Tower , a historic fortification on the Tagus River, with its battlements and Gothic-Manueline balconies, which emerges from the calm waters.
Behind it, on a hill dotted with orange roofs, stands the Dome of the Panteão Nacional and other historic buildings of Lisbon, in Baroque and Renaissance style.

🌊 Lower part:

In the foreground, a bench in the shade of a tree where a contemplative figure sits.
The sidewalk in calçada portuguesa (traditional black and white mosaic) winds along the shore.
Next to it, a leaning Portuguese guitar or a figure playing fado enriches the emotional and musical theme.

🎨 Color Palette:

• Deep green, warm red, ochre, Atlantic blue, cream calçada

• Sunset lights for melancholic atmospheres

• Clean lines and light textures, printed paper effect
