The artwork, titled “Mirror,” created by Jesús Rafael Soto in 2005, is a silkscreen composition employing glass and plexiglass mediums. This abstract piece, representative of the Op Art movement, measures 50 x 50 cm.
The artwork displays a dynamic configuration of geometric patterns and linear elements. Dominated by an interplay of blue and black lines, the composition creates a sense of depth and optical movement, a hallmark of Op Art. The central square, seemingly mirrored, further enhances the illusionistic effect, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between space and perception. The intricate layering of glass and plexiglass components induces a mesmerizing visual experience, characteristic of Soto’s exploration of kinetic and optical phenomena.
