Pasera is a new communal gathering space in Montemayor, created by Javier de Riba as part of his Floors series aimed at reclaiming small plots of land. The mural features a patterned design in burgundy and soft yellow, reflecting the local agricultural heritage of raisin production and dessert sherry. The community celebrated its inauguration with a breakfast event, which promotes a sense of pride and ownership. Art's lasting impact on the space is emphasized by the notion that care and use are essential for maintaining its vitality.
"Pasera" is the latest addition to Javier de Riba's ongoing Floors series, a project focused on reclaiming small plots of land as communal sites.
The local community held a breakfast to inaugurate the new work, which the artist notes is an important part of instilling pride and ownership over the space.
"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."
Mimicking a patterned carpet, de Riba's mural is a vibrant motif of burgundy and soft yellow, a nod to the fruits that surround it.
