Works on paper

Comares is a series of collage created by AL HAMRA contemporary art projects with vinyl sheets coloured with enamel paint and fixed on paper (50 x 50 cm).

The Comares tower is the largest of the existing towers in the Alhambra, with a height of 45 meters. Its name comes from the stained glass windows of the balconies that illuminate the great room which occupies the interior of the tower, called "comarías". An appropriate name for a series that combines basic colours with geometric pattern of stars, that’s so characteristic of Islamic art.
