Javier de Riba spray paints bright, geometric patterns on cement floors of public spaces. The Barcelona-based designer and artist works with paints, stencils, roller brushes and volunteers from his workshop to create these beautiful tiled patterns. He says this about his work on Impakter:
“My interest for patterns comes from historical traditions. At the end of the 19th century, hydraulic mosaic factories began to appear in the Catalan countries. Many homes here, in Catalunya, feature this type of tile, and I have lived with them all my life. I wanted to revive this tradition, put it into light and on the street, with a modern touch.”
Japanese designer Keijiro Shimizu started his career as a graphic, textile and character designer before becoming an independent illustrator. He later focused on providing pattern designs for textiles and also for a variety of industries. His work can be seen here at Pattern Design Studio.
Admiring the patterns of Australian-based artist Jocelyn Proust. Her style influenced by Marimekko utilizes clean, bold graphics and bright striking colors. Her process begins with working in her sketchbook with pen or watercolour or cut paper. She then transforms her work digitally into patterns and designs.Â
More of her work can be viewed on her website and Instagram. A few of her products are sold in her Etsy shop.
