Jesús Rafael Soto, Venezuelan artist working in the fields of Op-art and kinetic art, a sculptor and a painter. Paris 1974.

In his Paris studio in 1974, Venezuelan Op-art and kinetic artist Jesús Rafael Soto is captured in deep concentration. He works on a large, intricate installation, reaching through a dense screen of taut, vertical threads to manipulate light-colored slats woven into the structure. Strong side lighting highlights the texture of the countless threads, casting dramatic shadows that give the complex, linear sculpture a sense of depth. Partially obscured, Soto appears fully integrated with his creation.
