Carlos Cruz-Diez (Caracas, 1923 - Paris, 2019). He studied at the School of Fine Arts from 1940 to 1945 in Caracas where he worked as a Director and Painting professor.
His artistic exploration was focused on the idea of colour, understood as an autonomous reality that doesn´t depend on the shape. The works by Cruz-Diez are conceived as moving pieces, that change constantly depending on the spectator point of view and their motion.
Through different materials that modify depending on the light and the point of view, Cruz-Diez created moving pieces that never stop changing. His works are conceived to be experienced and involve the visitors in a colourful atmosphere.
