Barcelona 1992 Olympic Poster by Alonso / Ayguadé · Torch Runner · 70 × 50 cm

Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games poster by Alonso / Ayguadé, featuring a stylised runner carrying a torch against a vivid yellow-orange background. This vertical paper poster measures 70 × 50 cm and is supplied unframed.

Broken deep-blue lines trace the moving figure, surrounded by curved red, green and bright-blue marks. Broad white strokes cross the left side, while a blue band runs along the bottom above the event lettering. At the upper right, white Olympic rings sit within a red panel above the yellow torch flame. A stepped dark-grey shape anchors the lower right.

The designers’ statement in the existing listing connects the yellow background and blue band with Barcelona’s sun and sea, and the curved forms with Gaudí-inspired imagery. The runner, torch and rings give the design its Olympic focus.

Colour and display

A warm yellow-orange ground is balanced by a bright-blue lower band and a bold red upper panel. Deep-blue figure outlines, green and red curved accents, white brush-like strokes and a dark-grey stepped form give the image an energetic, graphic character. It would bring warmth to a creative workspace, a contemporary living room or a sports-themed gallery wall. Light wood and off-white walls would soften the saturated colours, while blue textiles or a restrained red accent could echo the design without overwhelming the room.
