From Síntesis Series - Shadow box construction with screen-printed Plexiglas and chromed aluminum metal bars - Signed and numbered on a label affixed to the reverse // Rafael Jesus Soto's Escritura is a captivating mixed-media sculpture that uses the interplay of lines, transparency, and shadow to create a sense of movement and spatial depth. Part of the Síntesis series, the artwork consists of screen-printed Plexiglas panels, with chromed aluminum metal bars creating a layered effect that manipulates light and visual perception. The abstract lines across the panels resemble flowing calligraphy or dynamic writing, hence the title Escritura (Writing). The combination of precise geometry with optical illusions is central to Soto’s work, encouraging viewers to engage with the piece from multiple angles. As light and perspective shift, the static lines seem to vibrate or oscillate, evoking a sense of motion. Signed and numbered on a label affixed to the reverse, Escritura reflects Soto’s mastery in kinetic and optical art, where visual perception becomes an active 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.
