Tilmatli is a sculpture-assemblage-collage inspired in the optical and kinetical art movement generated during the post war years in South America.
The piece, three dimensional in form, stresses the use of colour, its tonality, saturation and light to reach an effect of movement and surface fluidity. Tilmatli wants to reach certain motion in total quietness, in an optic realm where the fragility of the material, paper, and the intensity of colour make the work almost immaterial. The assemblage central core is wrapped by a cape type structure that was the primal inspiration of this work.The Aztec garment with its triangular shape defines the reason behind the folding and structure of the paper sheet in Tilmatli, and its vivid and rich coloration is grounded on the multifaceted and prolific South American op and kinetical art.
