Optical Art is a mathematically-oriented form of (usually) Abstract art, which uses
repetition of simple forms and colors to create vibrating effects, moiré patterns,
an exaggerated sense of depth, foreground-background confusion, and other
visual effects.
In a sense all painting is based on tricks of visual perception: using rules of
perspective to give the illusion of three-dimensional space, mixing colors to give
the impression of light and shadow, and so on. With Optical Art, the rules that
the eye applies to makes sense of a visual image are themselves the "subject"
of the artwork.
Technique: Geometric abstract Computer Art, developed from geometric
paintings, colored and post processed with Adobe Photoshop.
