An Abandoned Moroccan Church Was Given A Technicolor Makeover

And it's dazzling.

Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel has a knack for revitalizing abandoned spaces with brilliant explosions of color. In his latest work, titled "11 Mirages to the Freedom," San Miguel covered an abandoned church in Youssoufia, Morocco with colorful murals -- and the result is mesmerizing.

The bright, saturated hues and geometric patterns are signature qualities of San Miguel's work. In 2015 he made waves by applying these themes to a 100-year-old Spanish church, which has since become a kaleidoscopic skate haven.

For the church in Morocco, San Miguel drew from a range of inspirations, including "surrealism, multicultural religions, and symbolic iconography about freedom, existentialism, identity, capitalism and nature," the artist told The Huffington Post.

San Miguel began working on the project on Feb. 15 and finished within a week, Zigor Cavero, the artist's press representative, told HuffPost. The work is part of a larger series, called Street Art Caravane, running in different Moroccan cities throughout the year, Cavero said.

Take a look at the dazzling photos of the transformed church below and head over to San Miguel's Instagram for more of his work:
