“For me, color is autonomous, fleeting, in constant movement.
Color is like life: a permanent present.”

CARLOS CRUZ-DIEZ'S RESEARCH
Throughout his career, Carlos Cruz-Diez tirelessly explored color. In his work, he created situations in which color's volatile and ever-changing nature was rendered visible. Cruz-Diez's work presents color as an autonomous and evolutive reality where the implication of our senses reveals chromatic events as they develop.
​
Carlos Cruz-Diez’s body of work was based on three conditions of color: subtractive, additive, and reflective, developed through eight lines of research: Couleur Additive, Physichromie, Induction Chromatique, Chromointerférence, Transchromie, Chromosaturation, Chromoscope, and Couleur à l’Espace. Each line of study responds to different behaviors of color.
