Presenza grafica, 1973 - Engraving and screen-print in four colors on Fabriano Rosaspina paper - Signature and numbering in pencil on the front - Dry stamp 2RC - Rome - Publisher and printer 2RC, Rome, in 80 copies and 15 artist proofs // Composición by Rafael Jesús Soto, created in 1971, is a striking example of the artist’s exploration of optical art and geometric abstraction. The work features a large blue circle that dominates the center of the composition, with a smaller concentric circle inside made up of fine horizontal lines. These lines create an optical illusion, evoking movement and depth. Across the central circular forms are horizontal bands in varying shades of black and white, further emphasizing a sense of dynamism and vibration. Soto’s use of contrasting colors and lines creates a visual interaction between space and form, a hallmark of his kinetic and optical art. This silkscreen print exemplifies Soto's mastery in manipulating visual perception, drawing the viewer into a constantly shifting and engaging visual experience.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
