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.

What does the ‘Sound of Dublin’ mean to you?

We hear from Dublin’s own Krystal Klear – who describes music as the ‘fuel’ that keeps the city alive – as well as Kormac, Bantum, Farrah Elle, Kojaque, Loah, 5th Element, James Rodgers, Faune, Daire Carolan, Richie Bree, Craig Connelly and Ruth Medjber.
It’s not just Irish artists and fans sharing their impressions: we have everyone from Karl Hyde to Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, as well as Paul Kalkbrenner, Ralph Rolle, Groove Armada, Jessy Lanza, Saul Williams and actor Emmet Kirwan imparting their wisdom on the thrum and hum of Dublin’s music scene.
Basically, it’s a visual love letter to Dublin with a banging soundtrack….
Take that, soundless Cork.
