« I ended up realizing that by painting so much black and white I was approaching nearly optic pieces, so I slowly started adding up the full colour spectrum, which made my pieces more visible, with fluorescent colours. »

Felipe Pantone
He has rejuvenated the age old Greek philosopher Heraclitus's idea, that only change, remains unchangeable: 'There is nothing permanent, except change.' This notion goes hand in hand with the idea that uncertainty is the ultimate nature of reality, and that nothing is more certain than the fact that all outcomes from our decisions and actions, are forever uncertain, in the long run. This belief system has led Pantone over the years, to gradually abandon conventional representational forms, in favour of a more effectual production technique, which he coined, 'kinetic art'. Pantone was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina in 1986, but moved to Spain as a child. He essentially grew up ans studied art, in Valencia where he still resides. His recent work is crystallised in geometric models, which evoke the ever present designs of digital productions around us. Continuous activity, ceaseless circulation, provide the surge of energy which animates Pantone's work. He coherently expresses his acceptance of our technological future in his installations, with dazzling colours, synthetisers and ever present, intensely glaring, computer screens.
