Monkeys
Tiago Galo
2025

By the artist: "They could be monkeys, or they could be any other creatures. In the end, it hardly matters. What’s here is the bond between a parent and its offspring – that absolute connection that makes the rest of the world shrink into mere background noise. The planet may be burning, life turned upside down, but in that moment, there is only this: a hug, a gesture of protection, and a banana."

Our screen printed tiles are envisioned as a work of art. They are fragile pieces and need to be handled with care.
Keep away from heat sources to prevent damages.
To preserve the quality of our ceramic products, clean them with a damp cloth only. Avoid the use of aggressive/abrasive detergents that could damage the surfaces of the ceramic.
Over time, a crazing pattern may develop.
Note that not every surface of the tile is coated with glaze. Some pieces are intentionally not completely glazed on the top surface for conceptual or aesthetic reasons.
