Watercolor illustration of classic porticos – the characteristic colonnades and arcades particularly associated with Bologna in Italy. The long curved corridors with elegant columns and warm sunlight create a timeless expression characterized by history, culture and calm movement through the city. The porticos in Bologna extend over large parts of the city center and function both as architectural protection from sun and rain and as a meeting place for people, reflection and city life. The illustration symbolizes knowledge, travel, cultural heritage and the connection between people, ideas and stories – as the basis for the name Portico Publish. - Magne Bjella
