Detail Description

The 'Optical-Dynamic Reliefs' are, from a constructive point of view, linear and luminous configurations, each placed on different planes, a few centimetres apart. Since the two can be illusorily read as lying on a single plane, the proliferation of visual images resulting from the interference between the two real planes is unlimited: the opaque segments in the foreground overlap the luminous segments in the second plane, blinding them; or they split, creating ray effects; or, even, they give rise to the phenomena of luminous elision and the formation of dark marbling with a curvilinear, spiral-like movement.
