Tamara Alves Artworks

Engaged with sustainability and aware that being sustainable entails promoting national contemporary art, the partnership with Underdogs and visual artist Tamara Alves unfolded.
Its contribution opened a window in the hotel into the natural paradise that is Troia; it became emblematic with the creation of 3 such impressive works.

WORK

  • "ECHO OF A BODY IN QUICK LIME"

    Inspiration: “The hotel bedrooms accommodate the memories of many unfamiliar people. Those walls are silent witnesses of stories that we can only imagine. When we check out of the hotel room we don’t think about it. The bedsheets are revolved by an agitated or peaceful sleep, but preserve the shapes and odour of our body. During our stay there, a day, two days, perhaps a little longer, we had a life between those walls.”
    José Luís Peixoto.

    "The vegetation covers this place where it grows, silence occupies us, birds spend the night in our melancholic heart and we have one last look around the hotel room at what we’re leaving behind." - Tamara Alves

    TROIA I e II

    The watercolor paintings are an interpretation of the TROIA experience, bringing a little of what we leave when we check into the hotel, a little of what we can observe and recognize, keep in memory, both colors and smells. A short immersive experience that triggers the observer’s awareness of the surrounding environment.
