The project has multiple aims, including injecting vibrant color into an otherwise dull urban environment, fostering a sense of connection between locals and the artist, and creating a warm and welcoming gathering space for people to come together.
The Floors Project is a wonderful example of the power of art to transform public spaces and bring people together. By involving the community in the creation of these beautiful and functional interventions, de Riba is not only beautifying the city, but also strengthening the social fabric of the community.
It is heartening to see an artist like de Riba using his talents to create something that is not only visually stunning, but also has a positive impact on the community. The Floors Project is a testament to the importance of public art in our cities and the potential it has to improve our daily lives.
