Light, shape and color

Daniel Oropeza50/50

Is the color real?... Is the color light? Is the color movement? The essence of color lies in "the awareness of the instability of reality". Color is a circumstance in time and space and not a certainty. Color manifests itself in space and can survive outside the support and form. It is a living essence.

This new generative work is based on the study and reflections of master Carlos Cruz-Diez on color and movement. In my student days, I lived among the master's chrome-saturated works. Caracas is a museum of the works of Cruz-Diez. This somehow had or has an influence on my perception of color.

[...] Color is "an ephemeral situation, an autonomous reality in continuous mutation" and, like events, it unfolds "in real space and time, without past or future, in a perpetual present" [...]
