Molto buono (Very Good). . . . Considered one of the major exponents of contemporary art in our time; has lived and worked in Paris since 1960. His roots go back to the Kinetic Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. He describes his enquiriesand proposals as "Arte del Movimiento y Espacio Reales" [Art of Real Movement and Space]. His visual art has expanded the accepted idea of color, showing that perception of a chromatic phenomenon does not rely on form. ........ Each one takes a different approach to how color behaves. His work shows that when color interacts with the viewer it becomes an autonomous reality that can be launched into space, sans anecdotes or symbols, evolving on its own with no need of form or even support. He describes himself as an artist who is also a researcher: "There is nothing random about my work; everything is thought out, programmed, and coded. Freedom and emotions are only involved when combining colors, a task that is required to live up to a particular standard: it must do a good job of expressing what I am trying to say. It is a blending of reason and the emotions. I do not get inspired; I think." (Cruz-Diez Foundation)
