In his continuous exploration of light and reflections, Camilo Matiz latest series ”Strokes” place as always the observer in the middle of the artwork, using the surroundings as its canvas. An inverted vision of the environment tinted by a colour stroke that paints the scenario on a kinetic movement.


”This work is in continuous transformation, it adapts to the area where is placed, making each interpretation absolutely unique”


The rotating transparency of the brushstroke is Matiz’s signature to the overall reflection. It travels in the contours of the framed space, tinting, covering, hiding and revealing details.


”Light and air are the main elements that give life to the piece”. Gusts of fresh air from the place or an exhalation from the observer unleash the mesmerizing choreography of light and colours.
