About the Artwork

Carlos Cruz-Diez uses lines as the most efficient tool to depict pure color without anecdote.Then it becomes a matter of personal preference, emotional connection and finally poetry.

“The work of art needs the viewer’s participation in order to become real. It’s not about passive contemplation but an active participation.”
Carlos Cruz-Diez

His work constantly requires the viewer active participation because the color changes and presents a sensation of movement as the position of the viewer changes. He refers to this changing effect of the image as “vibrations.”
