ALBUM COVER | Tiago Sarmento

BOHO, a vocabulary abbreviation much in vogue lately,comes from the lifestyle of the gypsy culture, which French romantic artists very much admired, inspired and thus named their lifestyle of Bohemianism: nomadic, wandering, simple, passionate about life and unconventional. Extrapolating these words and finding their synonyms, we come to the vagabond, eccentric, exotic correlates; at last, free. This is all present in Tiago Sarmento's 20 years career as a musician, as a celebration, nothing better than his 5th studio album being named BOHO. Based on this information I was invited to create the album cover, with a research into the visual universe that involves the artist's creation we came up with an ornate lettering inspired by boho prints full of arabesques and floral patterns as the main element.

BOHO. Uma abreviação vocabular tão em voga ultimamente que não basta mais que uma simples busca na internet para encontrar suas raízes no estilo de vida da cultura cigana, a qual os artistas românticos franceses tanto admiravam, se inspiravam e batizaram seu estilo de vida de Bohemianismo: nômades, andantes, errantes, simples, apaixonados pela vida e não-convencionais. Extrapolando essas palavras e encontrando seus sinônimos, chegamos aos correlatos de vagabundo, ambulantes, excêntricos, exóticos; enfim, livres.

Isso tudo está muito presente nos 20 anos de carreira do Tiago Sarmento, pra celebrar nada melhor que seu 5º álbum de estúdio ser batizado BOHO. Com essas informações em mente, fui convidado a criar a capa do álbum. A partir de uma pesquisa sobre o universo visual boho e folk, surge a ideia para o elemento principal: um lettering baseado em estampas boho, cheias de arabescos e padronagens florais.
