streetart or street_art If the artwork can be classified as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_art, but it does not fit into any other category. Usually one should use tags mural or graffiti, although streetart might be a better match in same cases like re-painted 3D objects. street_art is less popular value of the two.

Consider adding artwork_subject=street_art as well in this case

azulejo The azulejo refers to a typical form of Portuguese or Spanish painted, tin-glazed, ceramic tilework. They have become a typical aspect of Portuguese culture, manifesting without interruption during five centuries, the consecutive trends in art. Azulejos can be found inside and outside churches, palaces, ordinary houses and even railway stations or subway stations. See  Azulejo. Mural ceramic tilework azulejo.jpg
land_art  Land art refers to non-figurative art of the second half of the 20th century. Usually the works are connected with plastic change and addition of the form of the earth's surface. An important feature is the connection of the work with a particular landscape and the surrounding space.

A distinctive feature of land art is the absence of references to historical characters, and other symbolic and historical load. Thus, land art should not be confused with man_made=geoglyph, which usually serves the purpose of conveying a message or symbol.
