Description

The Peacock and the Giralda Gardens of Seville Alcazar

Print description

Bathed in summer sun, a peacock proudly displays its iridescent plumage. At the Alcázar de Sevilla, an arch frames the Giralda Tower — a structure shaped over centuries, blending Roman, Islamic, and classical Renaissance elements.

This print is more than a scene. It’s a memory from July 2025, when I visited with my dad and we walked together along the ancient walls of the Alcázar Palace. That quiet, shimmering moment stayed with me. I made this image to hold it — and to share it

Photograph of the base drawings for the art print. I draw these on A3 sheets of pigment marker paper with calligraphic brushes, fine-line ink pens, sponges, sand paper and other materials. The medium is ink and often charcoal and wash. I scanned these to form the main line work and patterns in the final print.

Print details

To create this print, I start by crafting individual drawings in ink, which collectively form a collage comprising the final piece. I scan my drawings and digitally add colour. The original design solely exists in digital format, and I print it using archival inks and paper. I then release my design as a limited edition print, available in standard ‘A’ sizes, ranging from A0 (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm) to A4 (21 x 29.7 cm).

Concept drawing for the print
Prior to my visit to Seville I went to Athens in Greece for four days. A the Byzantine and Christian Museum you can find this beautiful limestone pilaster capital with a relief of putto and peacock from the 4th-6th c. stayed in fixed in my mind for days. I love early medieval depictions that echoes my design.

Reales Alcazares de Sevilla and my Dad

Everytime I visit my parents in Seville, Spain, we always find time to visit our favourite places in Seville. One of our favourites is The Alcazar. This time in July 2025 we did a special tour wakling on top of the historic wall, enjoyed the view from Carlos V balcony and then had a cafe in the gardens where we also feed the peacocks.

I love visiting the Alcazar, you can see a lovely set of personalised prints I did back in 2021 here

Portrait Commissions as Renaissance Andalusian Tiles. Alcazar de Sevilla

This print is dedicated to my dad, Juan Manuel, for being such a sport. We love visiting the Alcazar, el Archivo de Indias and all sort of museums, often the two of us cycling around town.
