Drawing inspiration from the Alhambra’s north portico, where the Nasrid alhanias—shallow
recessed niches—are adorned with wavy-shaped tiling, this painting evokes the rhythm and
movement of the famed ‘Nasrid little bird’ mosaic. In this work, the colours flow in slanted
bands crisscrossing across the surfaces, creating a gentle dance of light and shadow. It offers
a pause, an airy, breathing space where pattern, colour, and light converge in quiet harmony.
