Homage To The Circle
Series
Homage to the Circle is a series centered on the exploration of chromatic relationships through light. The research unfolds from a single geometric module—the circle—used as a structure to study how color can generate depth, movement, and perceptual transformations within a seemingly simple system. The works are constructed through the superposition and repetition of circles of light organized in various scales and configurations. Through these variations, the series investigates how a single color can change radically depending on the context in which it appears. The compositions utilize a palette of luminous colors that remains constant across all pieces, allowing for the observation of how chromatic perception is modified by proximity, contrast, and the juxtaposition of colors.
One of the central axes of the series is the demonstration that color is an essentially relative phenomenon. The same hue of light can be perceived as warmer, cooler, deeper, or more intense depending on its relationship with the surrounding colors. Based on this premise, the works function as experimental fields where slight variations in the arrangement of the circles generate significant perceptual shifts. Over time, the compositions have incorporated luminous sequences that transform these light objects into chromatic cycles. Colors shift gradually, producing continuous perceptual displacements and creating the illusion that the circular geometries advance or recede within the plane. These optical movements expand the planimetry of the forms, producing effects of depth constructed solely through color.
Although the research is developed within an abstract and geometric language, the interactions between the circles and the colored light allow for multiple visual interpretations. Each work is presented as a perceptual situation where the viewer can observe how colors transform in real time and how the relationship between form, scale, and light constantly alters the experience of color. The series arises from sustained research into chromatic perception and the behavior of color in relation to its context; throughout this process, the studies on color interaction developed by Josef Albers serve as a fundamental reference that drives the investigation and guides many of the questions that run through these works.
