Madrid

The cultural heart of Spain - Madrid

Madrid, with its 3.3 million inhabitants in its city centre, manifests a remarkable fusion of historical heritage and modern metropolitan development. As the capital of Spain since 1561, the city constitutes an important centre of Iberian culture, art and architecture.

The city's geographical position, 667 meters above sea level on the central Iberian plateau, creates distinctive climatic conditions with intense light and dramatic atmospheric effects. This continental climate with hot summers and mild winters offers exceptional conditions for photographic documentation.

Madrid's architectural development spans significant eras from the Habsburg heyday to contemporary urban renewal. The city is known for its well-preserved historic quarters, with the Plaza Mayor from 1619 being a prominent example of Spanish urban planning. The characteristic architecture along Gran Vía from the early 20th century represents a transitional period towards modern urban development.

Our poster collection captures this multifaceted capital through various artistic expressions. The special Castilian light, especially prominent during "la hora dorada" (the golden hour), creates extraordinary visual experiences that permeate our works.

The city's cultural weight is manifested through institutions such as the Museo del Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza, which together form the "golden triangle of art". This artistic heritage is reflected in our collection through carefully selected perspectives and interpretations.

Modern Madrid is characterized by extensive urban development projects and innovative architecture. The city has undergone significant regeneration with projects such as Madrid Río, where a former motorway was transformed into a 10-kilometer park.

This collection is aimed at people who appreciate Spanish culture and urban development. Each poster represents a unique perspective on Madrid where historical monuments meet contemporary urban life in a distinctly Spanish context, adapted for modern interior design aesthetics.
