Nestled among the many vineyards of Andalusia, a daring intervention creates an area for gathering within the small village of Montemayor. “Pasera” is the most recent addition to Javier de Riba’s ongoing Flooring collection, a mission targeted on reclaiming small plots of land as communal websites.
“Pasera” refers back to the fields the place grapes shrivel up into raisins, producing the exceptionally candy Pedro Ximénez-style dessert sherry typical all through the area. Mimicking a patterned carpet, de Riba’s mural is a vibrant motif of burgundy and smooth yellow, a nod to the fruits that encompass it.
The local people held a breakfast to inaugurate the brand new work, which the artist notes is a vital a part of instilling delight and possession over the area. “As the feeling of home is a feeling that is created, and it fades if not taken care of, now it depends on its use and care to ensure that this meeting place remains alive,” he provides.
De Riba provides prints and picnic blankets that includes his distinctive motifs in his store. Discover far more on his web site and Instagram.
