In this work we can see different dominant elements typical of optical art such as straight or sinuous parallel lines, marked chromatic hallmarks, changes in shape or size and the combination or repetition of shapes or figures. The work encourages the viewer to actively participate by moving or moving around in order to fully grasp the optical effect. The work of Pedro Blas is a tribute to his first homeland, overturns and names the kinetic, but from the perspective of the traveler. He starts from Venezuela's own kinetic tradition, inspired by artists such as Cruz Díez. However, the use of new technologies has helped him to distance himself from tradition, creating a new and personal path.
