About the Artist
Designed by MORYARTY, this original poster reflects the studio’s dedication to contemporary graphic design rooted in a sense of place. MORYARTY’s approach draws inspiration from European modernism, blending clarity and structure with a spirit of travel and urban exploration. Each work is conceived as both a design object and a piece of decorative art, intended to resonate with those who appreciate thoughtful, modern aesthetics.
The studio’s creations are tailored for everyday interiors, emphasizing strong composition, legible forms, and distinctive color palettes. Barcelona Text exemplifies this ethos, offering a modern take on typographic posters inspired by the vibrant character of Barcelona.
The Artwork
Barcelona Text was created in 2021 as a tribute to the city’s unique visual identity. Instead of focusing on a specific landmark, the artwork channels the energy of Barcelona through bold typography and geometric structure, evoking the city’s dynamic signage, posters, and architectural rhythms. The design pays homage to the legacy of European graphic design, reimagining the idea of a travel memento for a contemporary audience.
This piece captures the atmosphere of Barcelona by letting the city’s name itself become the centerpiece, conveying a sense of place through design. For more city-inspired works, explore our Barcelona collection and discover additional highlights in our selection.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features large, stacked black lettering set against crisp geometric blocks of blue, orange, yellow, and red, all balanced by generous white space. The clean lines and flat color fields create a screenprint-like clarity, giving the poster a confident, architectural presence.
The mood is lively and metropolitan, with playful color contrasts and disciplined structure. This modernist approach appeals to fans of minimalist posters and striking abstract design, making it a standout piece for contemporary interiors.
In Interior Design
This poster serves as a vibrant focal point in living rooms, entryways, or home offices, bringing energy without overwhelming the space. Its typographic design complements Scandinavian, mid-century, and modern interiors, while the saturated color blocks enliven neutral palettes.
Pair with white walls, pale woods, matte black accents, or touches of cobalt and terracotta for a cohesive look. It also integrates well into gallery walls with other graphic prints, making it ideal for travel enthusiasts and design-minded collectors.
