Xomatok, an artist from Peru, together with a bunch of citizens of Lima, decided to paint prismatic patterns on steps going up the hills of the city. They are influenced by the blankets hand-made by Andean craftsmen.
This is what the effects of their work look like.
You can clearly see them from afar
They climb up the hills like snakes
And they are all amazingly colorful
You can see them mainly in the poorer pars of the city
There is no way you will mistake them with anything else
Sometimes they look like a TV screen that needs more sharpness
Each pattern is influenced by traditional folk clothes
The colors are unbelievably juicy
This classic Andean pattern is their distinctive feature
Something rather modern
Compared to the grey buildings around them they look so radiant
If there are steps like that in your neighborhood, would you like them to be painted this way?
