Overview
"Margulis offers more than visual complexity—he offers an experience."

Jose Margulis is a contemporary artist whose work explores the space where art, science, and philosophy meet. Best known for his three-dimensional geometric constructions, he works with light, color, and layering to create pieces that shift depending on the viewer’s position and the passage of time. His art invites quiet attention, offering a meditative experience that unfolds through movement and presence.

 

Driven by a genuine curiosity about how we experience reality, Margulis explores ideas rooted in duality, emotional nuance, and the unseen forces that shape our perception. His process blends intuition with careful planning, grounded in both experimentation and research. Inspired by science, optical effects, and philosophical questions, he creates works that act as quiet thresholds—spaces where the visible and the felt begin to overlap.

 

Margulis approaches his practice with care and intention—whether experimenting with new materials, refining kinetic interactions, or incorporating technologies that add richness and complexity to his work. He believes in the power of structure and discipline, not just in making the work, but also in building a sustainable and meaningful practice.

 

Margulis offers more than visual complexity—he offers an experience. His work opens a subtle dialogue between perception and emotion, inviting viewers to engage deeply and return often, each time discovering something new.
