Carmen Inmaculada Federico - Simetría Rota

I am an Italian-Venezuelan artist whose practice is rooted in op art and kinetic art. My work is the result of a life dedicated to civil engineering and a latent passion for design and architecture, heritage of my Italian roots.

After overcoming a serious health crisis due to COVID-19 in 2020, I experienced a revelation about the ephemeral nature of existence. This transformative experience drove me to channel my knowledge of structure, geometry, and perspective onto the canvas, finding in art not only a refuge but my vital purpose.

Style and Vision: Inspired by the mastery of Carlos Cruz-Diez, Victor Vasarely, and Bridget Riley, my work explores the interaction between color and form to generate movement and visual vibration. As an engineer, I apply absolute technical rigor in composition, seeking for the viewer not to be a passive entity but to interact with the work through optical perception. My paintings are a dance of mathematical precision that celebrates resilience and the new opportunity to live.

Recent Recognitions: My artistic proposal has been validated in major international competitions, highlighting my selection as a finalist in:

ArtSur / TooQ (2024) Artwork: Lights On.

Target Prize (2025) Work: Chromatic Convergence

Bodegas Zifar (2025) Work: Broken Symmetry

Francisco Carretero Painting Contest (2025) Artwork: Broken Symmetry

When you acquire one of my pieces, you receive not only a high-quality optical art piece but also a testament to overcoming challenges and the vision of an artist who understands the structure of the world and the sensitivity of the soul.

Artistic description:
"Broken Symmetry", an impressive original work of contemporary art that explores the boundaries of geometric perception and chromatic precision. Painted in acrylic on canvas, this large-format piece (1 meter by 1 meter) dominates the space with a vibrant, architectural presence.

Analysis of the Work
The composition is based on a series of concentric frames that play with a tonal progression of blues, from deep to luminous sky blues. The distinctive element — and the soul of the piece — is the intentional deviation of perspective on the right-hand flank.

This "break" of symmetry isn't a performance error, but an artistic statement: an invitation for the viewer to question perfection and order. The delicate orange-toned perimeter line provides a warm contrast that "electrifies" the edges of the structure, accentuating the three-dimensionality of the work.
