It's not about pigeonholing styles or abandoning personal expressions.
Exhibition and Presentation of the Manifesto - January 10/2025
With this first exhibition, consolidated within the precepts of the "Chromatic Estereometrism" manifesto, the movement begins its journey to explore unprecedented intersections between art, science, and technology, thereby breaking paradigms by experimenting with innovative forms of expression.
By stimulating creativity and critical thinking, we seek to nurture a new generation of Costa Rican artists who are not only contributors to local culture but also participants in the global artistic dialogue.

Official Summary
El Chromatic Stereometrism is a 21st-century artistic vanguard that redefines the aesthetic and conceptual paradigms of contemporary art. Founded and led by Costa Rican artist Gustavo Rivera, known as "Guti", in 2019, the movement blends the precision of stereometry -the geometry of solids- with the expressiveness of chromatism, creating works that challenge perception and evoke a unique visual and emotional experience (Vanguardia Modelo Siglo XXI, p. 1, paragraph 2; Historia del Movimiento, p. 1). Inspired by movements like cubism, suprematism, and op-art, but transcending them through three-dimensional exploration and an interdisciplinary approach, Chromatic Stereometrism invites artists and viewers to rethink the relationship between form, color, and sociocultural context.
The movement promotes an aesthetic that balances geometric rigor and chromatic freedom, articulating a visual language that is both universal and contextual. Its works, characterized by complex geometric patterns and vibrant colors, are presented as "objects of active contemplation," where the viewer participates in interpreting the piece (Apology of the movement, p. 2). Since its inception, Chromatic Stereometrism has earned recognition, including a Cultural Interest Declaration for its contribution to artistic innovation (Cultural Interest Declaration, p. 1). With a growing international community of artists, the movement establishes itself as a transformative force in global art, with a presence on platforms like the official website (https://estereometrismo.art/index-en.html), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/estereometrismo.art), and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/estereometrismo_art).

Gustavo Rivera, known as "Guti", is a Costa Rican artist and the founder of Chromatic Stereometrism. Since 2019, he has led this vanguard, articulating a vision that blends three-dimensional geometry with chromatic expressiveness (History of the Movement, p. 1). His work, inspired by cubism, suprematism, and op-art, has been recognized with a Cultural Interest Declaration (Cultural Interest Declaration, p. 1). Through exhibitions, workshops, and a global community of artists, Guti drives a movement that invites experimentation and creative freedom, as reflected in the Letter to Artists (https://estereometrismo.art/pdf/carta-a-artistas.pdf).
Manifesto Excerpt
Chromatic Stereometrism emerges as a response to the need for an art that transcends the limitations of previous avant-gardes, integrating three-dimensional geometry with the expressiveness of color. We propose an art that is not only seen but experienced; an art that engages the viewer, inviting them to question their perception and discover new dimensions of reality. This movement imposes no restrictions but liberates the artist to explore, experiment, and create within a framework of aesthetic rigor and emotional freedom."
