Juan Gerstl (b. 1985, Caracas, Venezuela) is a kinetic artist currently based in Madrid. His practice centers on form, volume, and symmetry, exploring harmony through structured compositions that balance mathematical precision with poetic perception—a visual language he describes as ¨geometric poetry.¨

Gerstl seeks an active relationship between artwork and viewer, wherein the emotional experience emerges through perception rather than personal narrative. Working with layered elements, color, and carefully selected materials, his pieces rely on light as an essential component, completing the piece through optical interaction.

The paintings exude an otherworldly magnetism, evoking a sense of the cosmic as if they originate from an alternate reality. When one engages with the paintings, the interplay of flawless lines, refined forms, and shimmering highlights—where light meets surface—invites viewers into an immersive visual experience.

Positioned between a peaceful dream and mathematical reality, his practice continues to evolve through the exploration of symmetry, illusion, and the sensory dialogue between object and observer.
