New Spray Painted Tile Floor Installations by Javier De Riba

December 9, 2016

Kate Sierzputowski

Spanish street artist Javier De Riba (previously) paints floors instead of walls, mapping out interlocking patterns in the style of intricate tiles. All of his pieces are created with spray paint and stencils, yet the resulting works are almost indistinguishable from the floors of traditional Catalan homes where he was raised. Typically placed in abandoned buildings, De Riba’s geometric patterns stand in stark contrast to the derelict walls that surround them, each painting breathing new life into crumbling architecture.

Recently De Riba has released some limited editions of his spray-painted works. You can find these prints on both his website and Etsy.
