Cosmopolitan (viii) Sculpture by Maria Bouquet

Sculpture: LED, Lights on Wood.

Led light. Remote control with 15 colors and 5 light sequences. (Light Art piece battery operated)

The Light Art series is inspired by the Culture of aboriginal peoples of Latin America. These Peoples designed a Geometric language, compose by patterns, shapes and forms that are part of the make up of all living things and that regularly occur in nature. It is system of universal design in which the energy of creation organizes itself into form. The magical realm of geometry expresses itself in the beautiful patterns of creation seen in snowflakes, crystals, flowers and pinecones. The ancient cultures (Celts, Druids, Egyptians, Knights Templar, etc...) and aboriginal peoples (Mayan, Hopi, etc...) were very much aware of these geometrical signatures and numeric frequencies. Experiencing a resonance with these living forms, the ancient peoples recognized the wisdom contained within each shape and built their sites of worship and monuments in harmonious accord with sacred geometry.

The Light Art series is inspired on geometrical patterns find in nature. It is a series of dynamic and three-dimensional body of works that play with the view of the observer. These light art sculptures are born with the illusion that our sight generates thanks to light manipulation. These pieces of light art are focused on altering the perception of light and volume to perceptual and sense experience. Thus, a series of objects floating in an infinite space of colors is perceived. My ultimate goal is to take the observer to a similar state to that experienced through meditation.
