Barcelona 1992 Olympic Poster by Carlos Rolando · Mosaic Design · 70 × 50 cm

Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games poster by Carlos Rolando, featuring a classical-style athletic figure and Olympic rings rendered as a mosaic-like image. This is a paper poster, not a physical tile mosaic. It measures 70 × 50 cm and is supplied unframed.

Irregular red shapes fill much of the background around a black-and-pink figure with outstretched arms and bent legs. Coloured Olympic rings appear above, with green-and-grey decorative motifs beside the figure. Large black Barcelona ’92 lettering runs vertically along the white right margin. The existing description connects the mosaic imagery with Barcelona’s Modernisme and with ancient Greece. A Telefónica sponsorship credit is visible at the lower left.

Condition and edition

Vintage condition, rated 7/10. The photographs show some waviness along the edges and faint marks in the white margin. Please review the photographs for this copy’s surface, corners and signs of handling. The irregular tile-like outlines are part of the design.

The photographed margin carries a 1990 copyright notice, which does not by itself establish the printing year of this particular copy. No handwritten signature, numbered edition or specific printing technique is documented for this item.

Colour and display

A vivid red mosaic-style field surrounds a figure in pink and black, with white outlines separating the small coloured shapes. Green, golden yellow, blue and grey introduce additional accents, while the white right margin gives the dense image breathing room. This warm, decorative palette would suit an eclectic living room, a Mediterranean-inspired hallway or an art-and-sport gallery wall, particularly alongside cream walls, dark wood and terracotta details. Small green or blue accessories can echo the rings without competing with the red background.
