Escadinhas

"Escadinhas" means "staircase" in Portuguese. This project pays homage to my numerous strolls through the picturesque town of Sintra, Portugal. Wandering through this enchanting place, I would often stumble upon graffiti art hidden on stone walls, particularly on the stairs connecting different levels of the town. These spray-painted masterpieces inspired this generative art piece.

Each edition features a base canvas designed to resemble a stone wall surface. Isometric blocks, styled like spray-painted artwork, are stacked on the canvas following a selection of predefined stacking styles.

Minters can customize the stacking style, palettes, number of blocks, and the colors used for the box faces from the palette. I encourage you to experiment with the stacking styles and block count to find an aesthetic that you like. The final edition will resemble, but not be an exact match to, the preview of the parameters.

The palettes are derived from photographs taken during my time in Portugal. Each one holds a special meaning, representing a moment of tranquility, and contributing to the artwork's unique energy.

The live edition of the project displays each block being painted one at a time on the canvas.
