Small metal plate in front of coloured panel - Signed and numbered on a label affixed to the reverse // Rafael Jesus Soto’s Homenaje al Humano is a mixed-media sculpture that explores the dynamic relationship between form, space, and viewer perception. The work consists of a grid of black metal plates arranged in front of a striped background, with one distinctive orange plate disrupting the uniformity. The interplay of light and shadow across the surfaces of the plates creates a kinetic effect as the viewer moves around the piece, making the composition seem to shift and change with each new angle. Soto’s use of geometry, minimalism, and optical illusions invites the audience to actively engage with the work, creating a dialogue between the physical structure and the perceptual experience. The single orange plate serves as a focal point, offering a subtle yet powerful contrast to the monochromatic elements. This work, signed and numbered on the reverse, exemplifies Soto’s commitment to kinetic and optical art, where movement and perception are key components.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
