Relicários de São Tolosa’s Artistic Album Cover

Published

Carlos Bauer designed the unique album artwork for Relicários de São Tolosa. The artwork itself has a sense of motion and movement and captures the eye with a vibrant beet-like color that stands out.

“Relicários de São Tolosa mixes classic, progressive and psychedelic rock among other references from music, cinema and literature in their sound. I was commissioned to design the sleeve of their first album — homonym —, witch is the materialization of their first authorial production and physical manifestation of much energy accumulated.”

“I defined 3 concepts to guide the design: reliquary, as envelope or container to present the band; search, linked to the questions proposed in the lyrics; and explosion, to express the climax that the album represents.”
