Morocco Wall Art

Morocco — 3 museum-grade prints drawn from its heritage. Chefchaouen earned its Blue Pearl nickname from medina walls washed in shades from powder to cobalt — a tradition linked variously to Jewish refugee communities, pest-repellent folklore, and the simple fact that blue photographs beautifully against Rif Mountain light. The old town's Plaza Uta el-Hammam and the Spanish Mosque viewpoint draw millions of travellers annually, but travel-poster artists from Art Deco lithographers to contemporary print sellers return to the same essentials: stacked blue facades, mountain backdrop, and the archways that frame countless doorways. Fes el-Bali, the old medina of Fez, has been a centre of Islamic learning and artisan craft since the ninth century — home to the University of Al-Qarawiyyin, the Chouara tanneries, and Bab Bou Jeloud, the famous blue-tiled gate into the souks. Fez remains synonymous with indigo-dyed textiles, zellige mosaic work, and the horseshoe arches that frame countless riad doorways — motifs that travel-poster artists from Art Deco lithographers to contemporary Etsy sellers return to again and again. Marrakech's medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site where zellige tilework, carved cedar and plaster, and riad architecture carry centuries of Amazigh and Andalusian craft forward. Jemaa el-Fnaa and the Koutoubia Mosque anchor the old city's skyline for travellers and poster artists alike — this print abstracts those materials into a layered collage rather than a single landmark postcard.
