Clareo 1990

"Clareo" (1990) is an optical illusion artwork by Victor Vasarely (1908-1997). It is a quintessential example of Op Art, a movement that explores the interplay of colors and shapes to create the sensation of movement and depth. The artwork's mesmerizing composition of black and white circles arranged in a seemingly endless spiral, draws the viewer's eye into the piece, while the illusion of a sphere adds a three-dimensional aspect to the flat canvas. Vasarely's works often played with geometric patterns and color combinations, aiming to evoke a sense of dynamism and visual stimulation, making him a pioneer of Op Art.
