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 concrete art?
Concrete Art is an art movement founded by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in the 1930s. The movement emphasizes pure abstraction, focusing on geometric shapes and colors without any reference to the natural world or symbolic meaning. Unlike other forms of abstract art, Concrete Art is entirely non-representational and is based on mathematical principles and precise execution. It aims to create universal, timeless works by using simple, clear forms that emphasize objectivity and clarity.
