About this artwork
This piece features two interlaced images, entwined in a dichotomic embrace.
The piece is executed in azulejos, traditional Portuguese ceramic tilework, and framed in raw pine.
The top section was originally two pieces, one showing the comforting embrace of the figure of death, the other showing a vicious clash of two daemon-like dog figures. The combination of both pieces expresses the sense of fear and disquiet in acknowledging one's mortal form,… and our fragility in an ever more perilous world.
The hands reaching up from the bottom attempt to grasp at something, but are separated from the top image.
Azulejos are traditional Portuguese tilework.
The individual tiles are hand painted with glazes, and then fired in a kiln.
They are typically seen decorating the exterior and interior of churches, grand houses, and civic buildings. They are usually painted in shades of blue, giving them their name - "azul" for blue in Portuguese.

« I think of paintings as puzzles to be resolved, expressing a true emotional experience. I create strong sentimental attachments, and breathe life into them as objects in their own right. »
Berriblue is an emerging Polish-Irish artist based in Porto, Portugal whose paintings have been exhibited internationally and published in numerous magazines. Originally trained as a printmaker and graphic designer, Berriblue built her reputation in Dublin as a street artist under her earlier pseudonym, JTB. Her work in the studio and on the street explores themes of religion, sexuality, mental health, and personal identity. Combing both figuration and abstraction, Berriblue creates emotionally charged works in a mix of oils, wood paint, tempera and acrylics. Her work is held in collections in Dublin, Lisbon, Mozambique, and Los Angeles.
