Mirror 2005

"Mirror" (2005) by Venezuelan kinetic artist Jesús Rafael Soto, is a quintessential example of his signature "vibration" style. Soto utilizes a series of blue and black lines creating an optical illusion of movement when viewed from different angles. The piece is designed to engage the viewer's perception of depth and space, a key element in Soto's art. The mirror's geometric shape and vibrant lines create a dynamic tension, making the viewer feel as though the piece is pulsing with energy. Soto's art is often described as "op art" or "kinetic art," with the artist's works inviting viewers to participate in a multi-sensory experience.
