Using spray paint and stencils, Spanish street artist Javier de Riba decorates the floors of abandoned buildings (and occasionally streets and pavements) with tiled patterns based on the traditional Catalan tile designs of the houses he grew up in.

The video shows the progression of a work he was invited to create at the abandoned 5-star Monte Palace hotel in Sete Cidades at São Miguel in the Azores.

De Riba also sells his tile designs as prints.
