Leopoldo Torres Aguero, born in Buenos Aires, was a key figure in the development of abstract art in Argentina. A member of the Movimiento de Arte Madi, Torres Aguero’s work evolved from early figurative painting to geometric abstraction in the 1960s, influenced by his travels to Paris and Japan. His art, often using mandalic and symbolic forms, reflects his exploration of spirituality and the Tao, merging the earth and sky through color and line. His works are held in major museums worldwide, including in Argentina, Cuba, and France, and he became an ambassador of Argentina to UNESCO. Torres Aguero’s distinctive approach integrates Zen Buddhism’s meditative qualities, focusing on the interplay of light, space, and the spirit.
