The back features a label from the artist's studio with the title, , and date of the work. The work is published in the artist's catalog 'Geometrie cromo-cinetiche' on page 26 (attached to the work). A graduate in Industrial Design, Dario Zaffaroni's artistic career traces its roots back to the 1960s. Visual perception is the cornerstone of his work. In the Cromodinamiche Fluorescenti series, he works with shapes, geometric reliefs, and fluorescent cut-out paper: the fluorescence acts as a powerful visual stimulus, almost as if it were a draw for attention. The geometric shapes, in their mathematical rigor, seem imprisoned in colored stripes that intersect like laces, bars, constraints. But as soon as the observer shifts their perspective, the forms free themselves and acquire dynamism and energy, inviting them to play with variations in tone, light, refractions, shadows, and shapes that result from the observer's movement relative to the artwork. The artwork is housed in a display case. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
