Alicante, Spain, 1923
One of the most significant figures of Spanish art of the 20th century, who shares scenarios and ideas of kinetic art and is characterized by a poetics based on light and color; as the art critic and essayist Vicente Aguilera Cerni wrote, his own: “it is an art that is at the same time concrete, poetic, logical and even urbanistic”.
In Sempere's artistic career, his long stay in Paris during the 1950s marks a turning point. There he participates in several editions of the Salon des réalités nouvelles, where in the summer of 1955 he exhibits his mobile luminous reliefs and a manifesto in which he refers to light as the element with which to build a poetic dialogue through time.
