Gisela Colón
(B.1966)
BIO
Puerto Rican-American artist Gisela Colón creates abstract, radiant structures inspired by natural forces. Morph (Pulsar) appears both futuristic and primordial, transforming with the surrounding light. Trained as a painter, Colón shifted to engineered materials such as optical acrylic or carbon fiber, cast in prismatic configurations. Reflecting and refracting light in real time, these biomorphic containers embody energy, evolution and transformation. Inspired by the Minimalist and Light and Space practices of the 1960s, Colón also draws from her diasporic identity, with its personal, cultural and geological landscapes. Her innovative approach of “Organic Minimalism” extends the sphere of artistic concern, weaving life-like qualities into a reductive vocabulary of form.
