Bacman Osvaldo
The of Mystery Geometry
Osvaldo Bacman
born in La Plata, Argentina, showed very early a precocious learning towards art, to wich he dedicated every minute of his free time.
Concurrently to his studies, he did special courses for children and adolescents in the ‘’Graduate School of fine Arts’’, wich was part of the University of La Plata and where he learned the basic concepts of painting, after which he directed himself towards Cubism and Concrete Art.
Between 1970 and 1973, Bacman did several study trips to Europe.
He visited Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Milan, Venice, and was specially interested in Florence and Paris. This great visual and spiritual experience accentuated his inspiring force.
Since 1976 Bacman lives in Germany. In Düsseldorf until 1992 and then in Nürnberg until 2009. Since 2009 he has been living and has working in his atelier in the city of Cologne, where he also exhibits his artworks. He was granted the German citizenship in 1987. His artistic evolution stands out in three very diferents phases.
Between 1976 and 2003, he discovers for himself the ‘’Language of Geometry’’, first in its ‘’two-dimensional’’form and after a log experimentation process in its ‘’three-dimensional form, developing the concept of the ‘’Third Dimension’’, reflecting in three-dimensional objects.
In 2004 and until 2008, he creates the images of his series called ‘’Microcosm’’, inspired in the ultrastucture of the human cell.
From 2009 on and already in his atelier in Cologne, Bacman is seduced and inspired by the multiple expression possibilities and the beauty that come from the combination of ‘’ORNAMENTS’’
The group of works ‘’ORNAMENTS’’ is composed of two series: ”Encounter of Nature” ”The Language of Geometry 1” ‘’The Language of Geometry 2” ”Spiritual and Intellectual Space of Geometry“
”
At the present time the artist is working on a group of large format pictures: “The Mystery of Geometry” Osvaldo Bacman is a member of the ”Art Society of Cologne”

Geometry in art is a mystery
based on elements, surfaces and planes that slowly emerge from nothing and then submerge in magical form, until they disappear.
Geometry is a mystery that has its own language, an abstract expression , expressing a different reality than your own. It is the intellectual expression of the world that surrounds us, geometric structures that make up squares, rectangles, circles, cubes, cylinders, triangles, etc.
Geometry is also an independent expression, because it has a life of its own, that is permeated with rhythm, movement and constant change and generates an intense dynamic.
It shows a process of interaction between irritation and harmony, creates images that suddenly appear and disappear.
It makes the invisible, visible.
The geometric abstraction is not only a mystery, but a fascinating psychological expression, because during the artistic creative process, develops an atmosphere and a very special and profound relationship between the artist and his work. When this process comes to an end, the artwork is liberated and sustains its own existence.
This kind of abstraction as a result of its change of form, its vitality and its own language offers a dialogue between the artwork and the viewer and thus stimulates the aesthetic and intellectual interpretation of each individual.
