Brasília is full of beautiful tiles. They come as a surprise, in places you do not expect. Not old ones, like you can see around Lisbon, but modern ones, designed by Athos Bulcão (July 2, 1918 – July 31, 2008).
He was public artist, interior designer, muralist, furniture and graphic designer, from Rio de Janeiro, invited to Brasilia to collaborate with Oscar Niemeyer.
These tiles pictured are all over the wall of a small church (Nossa Senhora de Fátima, 307/308 South), called by locals as “Igrejinha”, since 1957.
