The inspiration of these sardines was born by the traditional portuguese song named Cheira a Lisboa (It smells like Lisbon) created by the very well-known singer Amália Rodriguez. This diptych was presented to the Sardine Contest as part of the popular festivities of Lisbon in 2023.
Lisboa tem cheiros de flores e de mar
Lisbon smells like flowers and the sea
Cheira a fruta madura quando é verão
Smells like ripe fruit when it's summer
