艺术家Xomatok将手工编织的安第斯毛毯或llicllas的充满活力的几何图案制作成大型作品，标志着秘鲁利马多山的道路。作为利马市辖区的一部分，这次干预是艺术家和当地居民合作完成的，他们将穿过该地区的公共楼梯变成了多层次的画布。
由此产生的图案是千变万化的，并突出了明亮的色彩和通常与传统纺织品有关的对称性。在给Colossal的留言中，Xomatok表示，社区成员将加入这个项目，作为继续庆祝他们的文化历史的一种方式，你可以在这位艺术家的Instagram上俯瞰完成的作品。

Painted during the course of two months as part of the Municipality of Lima’s Pinta Lima Bicentenario, the 13 interventions were a collaborative undertaking by the artist and local residents, who transformed the public staircases that wind through the district into multi-level canvases. The resulting patterns are kaleidoscopic and highlight a spectrum of bright colors and symmetries often associated with the traditional textiles. In a note to Colossal, Xomatok says community members will add to the project as a way to continue celebrating their cultural history, and you can take an aerial tour of the finished pieces on the artist’s Instagram.#murals#Peru#public art#stairs#street artDo stories and artists like this matter to you?
