The Slave Ship — Ceramic Tile Mural

Pattern with a soul: «"the Boat of esclavos» is an ornamental tile mural drawing on Europe's folk-art traditions.

Rather than one fragile panel, the image is built from individual ceramic tiles: easier to ship, easier to install, and with that unmistakable tiled-mural character you know from Mediterranean houses.

Choose your size and the mural adapts: from a compact 30×30 cm accent to monumental panels over three metres wide, built from 10×10, 15×15 or 20×20 cm tiles. Square, panoramic and vertical formats are available depending on the composition.

Sublimation makes the artwork permanent — UV-stable for exterior walls, waterproof for showers, and hard-wearing enough for hotels and restaurants.

In small spaces a compact panel acts like a framed painting; in large rooms a full-wall format becomes architecture. Bathrooms, kitchens, halls and exteriors are all fair game.

If you need a specific measurement between standard sizes, or dream of a fully personalised mural from your own image, our workshop does exactly that.

For collectors of art, lovers of azulejo tradition, and anyone furnishing a forever home rather than decorating a temporary one.

Made to order by La Noria, a small Spanish ceramics and sublimation workshop in Fuentes de León. Each order ships with a simple numbered layout — if you can tile a splashback, you can install this.
