New Spray Painted Tile Floor Patterns in Abandoned Spaces by Javier De Riba

Instead of competing with giant graffiti tags or wall murals, Spanish artist Javier De Riba (previously) takes an entirely different approach with his spray-painted street art. Utilizing carefully overlapped stencil sets, Riba creates pristine sections of tile floor patterns in the midst of cracked sidewalks or on the floors of abandoned buildings. His measured use of color, original geometric arrangements, and precise execution makes every artwork stand out, no matter how mundane the location.

Riba has also begun working with wood varnish to create similar geometric shapes and produced limited-edition spray prints of his most recognizable patterns. You can follow his work on Facebook and on Behance.
