fausto montanari's illustrations depict the spanish art of sobremesa

illustration artist fausto montanari’s latest artwork conceptualizes the spanish ritual of ‘sobremesa’. while the word itself is untranslatable, the closest definition, according to a website dedicated to the art of sobremesa, is ‘that time spent after a meal, hanging out with family or friends, chatting and enjoying each other’s company’.

montanari‘s illustrations were conceived after having spent his time on many different tables of restaurants, bars, and cafès located throughout madrid. the artworks capture various food destinations, the people that work in them and the candid moments occurring in these spaces. the project is created using an iPad pro, adobe sketch and procreate software.
