Soto is a Venezuelan artist, known for his kinetic sculptures; this Red Sphere is a public art in Caracas, Venezuela. I chose this piece of a "historical art" because it was the one that inspired me as a little girl to make sculptures. Red Spheres was built around twenty years ago and integrates many of the artist's discoveries and obsessions from 1950 that include perceptual instability, monochrome, vibration, and reductionism. The art brings an experience of real time and space. Numerous indistinguishable straight metal rods are overhanging on a square canopy in a regular grid which appears as a vivid colored cloud. The lines flicker consuming the geometrical shapes and cannot be seen from our eyes. The virtual spheres are horizontally divided under a cylinder into red and white. Their color forms are not full, and to the viewer, they appear and disappear, cont ract and expand simultaneously.As a contemporary artwork, I picked Equilibrio Natural by Jorge Mayet. Mayet is a Cuban artist. I chose this piece and this artist because he uses nature in his sculptures and represents it the name of the piece means "Natural balance" in English.

For example, trees cannot live in space when the soil is eroded, and they will die, and similarly human beings cannot live in isolation from their culture, they will lead a dreadful life.Source:ht tp://68.media.tumblr.com/530c9d518141d78de7ca6ceec1ac205e/tumblr_obhnng6aNb1vbfs6io1_1280.jpgAlso included in my sculptures is an example of non-visual art and pop culture: "The Beautiful Blue Danube" by Johan Strauss II. This piece for some reason gives me all the attention I need, somehow makes me concentrate even more; I can hear over and over again. It was composed in 1866. The art is marked by a variety of sweet melodies. The music is drawn from a sole metrical scheme and the luminosity of the orchestration. The artist displays outstanding skills in melodic execution which excels the dancing stage.I chose Surrealism as a movement for my work because is the one I am more attracted to as it is a route through which the power of imagination is unlocked. Surrealism seeks to express the unbridled imagination of unconsciousness. Surrealism aims at exploiting the unconscious mind and the primitivism as well as the myths.
