Original artwork description:

On the feast day of St Anthony, patron saint of Lisbon, in Alfama, the city’s oldest quarter, Alfama festival fill with the smell of sardines being grilled outside little houses and restaurants. And of course a popular soundtrack for these activities is Fado - the melancholy Portuguese music. Also mass marriages, known as St Anthony’s Weddings, take a place during the festival.
On this painting I tried to catch the vintage atmosphere full of colours and emotions.
