The Movement

Contemporary Art, Contemporary Sculpture

ArtLovers Tip

Don’t stand still. These works only fully exist when your movement activates them.

Exhibition Highlights - What you’ll see

Contemporary geometric abstraction and light-based sculpture, influenced by minimalism, kinetic art, and optical perception.

In Perceptual Axes, David Magán transforms color, transparency, and geometry into physical experience.

Using layered acrylic structures, the works interact constantly with light and surrounding space. As you move, reflections shift, colors overlap, and forms appear to change shape.

You’re watching:

  • Geometric sculptures built from transparent planes and vibrant color
  • Works that activate through movement and perception
  • Intersections between object, light, and architecture
  • Minimal forms producing unexpectedly emotional atmospheres

The exhibition feels precise, luminous, and immersive without being overwhelming.

Worth the trip

Yes — especially if you love contemporary art that changes through experience.

Because David Magán’s work reminds you that perception itself can become the artwork.

What looks minimal at first becomes increasingly complex the longer you spend with it — depending on angle, distance, reflection, and light conditions.

Inside Opera Gallery, the clean architectural space amplifies that sensation beautifully.

How to experience it

Walk around every piece slowly → movement is essential

Observe how colors overlap and transform through transparency

Pay attention to shadows and reflections on walls and floors
