The Jardim do Largo da República in Silves has incorporated into its public space the tile panel Mangueira, a work by Jorge Santos. The piece was acquired by the Municipality of Silves and installed in this garden due to its strategic location next to three schools, allowing students and the community to have direct contact with the artwork.
The panel was produced by Arfai Ceramics Portugal, in Alcobaça, the company responsible for the technical execution in tile, ensuring the piece’s fidelity and quality. Its installation in Silves is part of a broader project that foresees the presence of different art points in the garden, creating a cultural space open to all.
To facilitate access to additional information about the artwork and the artist’s career, a QR Code will be placed in the coming days on the plaque next to the panel, linking to jorgesantos.eu.
This project was made possible thanks to the commitment of the Municipality of Silves and the collaboration of Arfai Ceramics Portugal, to whom thanks are extended for their contribution to incorporating Mangueira into the city’s public space.
