Artist Biography: Carlos Eduardo Cruz-Diez was born in Caracas, Venezuela, on August 17, 1923. From a young age he showed an interest in art and studied at the School of Fine Arts in Caracas. Later, he worked as a graphic and advertising designer in Venezuela.In 1955, Cruz-Diez moved to Europe to further his artistic training, settling first in Madrid and then in Paris, where he would live until his death. There he began to experiment with color, making it the central element of his work. In the 1960s, Cruz-Diez joined the kinetic art movement, which is characterized by the use of optical and mechanical elements to create visual effects in the artwork. Cruz-Diez developed his own technique, based on the use of chromatic structures, and created a series of works that he called "physichromies". Throughout his career, Cruz-Diez received numerous awards and participated in important international exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale, the Documenta in Kassel and the exhibition "Les Magiciens de la Terre" at the Centre Pompidou de París.Su work is in important contemporary art collections around the world, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Caracas and the Museo de Arte Moderno de São Paulo.Carlos Cruz-Diez passed away in Paris on July 27, 2019, but his artistic legacy lives on today, being recognized as one of the most important artists of kinetic art and contemporary art in general.
