The artwork, “Esfera Theospacio,” created by Jesus Rafael Soto in 1989, belongs to the Kinetic Art movement and is categorized as a sculpture.
“Esfera Theospacio” features a suspended sphere composed of meticulously arranged rods, floating within a transparent framework. The sculpture vividly displays an interplay of colors—primarily shades of yellow and white—creating an optical illusion of movement and depth as the viewer’s perspective shifts. The configuration of lines and the use of space embody Soto’s exploration of kinetic principles, capturing a sense of perpetuity and dynamic visual engagement. The transparency of the supporting structure further accentuates the piece’s ethereal and spatial qualities, emblematic of the artist’s innovative approach to sculptural expression within the Kinetic Art genre.
