Omar Rayo was a Colombian artist who worked primarily in geometric abstraction and op art, developing a distinctive visual language of interlocking linear patterns and optical illusions. Born in 1928, he emerged as a leading figure in Latin American modernism during the postwar period, creating works on canvas and paper that explored the perceptual effects of repetition and precision. His practice was rooted in mathematical principles and a rigorous formal investigation of pattern, color, and spatial depth.
