Sandra Betancort (Caracas, Venezuela) is a visual artist based in Barcelona, Spain. Her multidisciplinary practice includes painting, installation, photography and muralism. At the core of her work is an ongoing investigation into light as both a physical phenomenon and a transformative force, exploring how color, perception, and geometry shape the viewer’s experience within space.

​

  She holds a degree in Audiovisual from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello and has pursued studies in painting, sculpture, photography, film, art direction, and digital design in Venezuela, Spain, and the United States. Alongside her artistic practice, she has developed a professional career as an Art Director and Production Designer for advertisings, videos, films, and design projects.

 

​  Betancort has participated in solo and group exhibitions, urban art circuits, murals and artistic interventions and installations in Venezuela, Spain, France, Sweden, the United States, and other countries. In Venezuela, she has held a solo exhibitions at the Centro Cultural Los Galpones de Arte and G15. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions in both painting and photography at galleries and museums throughout Caracas, including the Museo de Bellas Artes. Internationally, she represented Venezuela at the first edition of the Latin American Photography Festival in Paris, exhibited at the Pomona Museum, and showed her work in several galleries across the United States. Her work has also been featured at the Independent Art Fair ARTEFAIM in Madrid, Art Expo New York at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, and in Miami, including participation in Art Basel, Spectrum with Irreversible Projects, and Art Miami with Zagra Art Gallery.

 

  Her work has been featured in various publications related to contemporary art, illustration, and urban art.

​

  She currently lives and works in Barcelona, Spain, where she continues her research into light, perception, and color through exhibitions, installations, public interventions, and educational workshops incorporating optical tools such as prisms and mirrors, inviting audiences to experience these phenomena firsthand.

  Light is the heart of my artistic practice. Through the interaction with light in my work, I explore how we perceive it in its colors, space and shapes, and how can transform the way we experience the world around us.

 

  I have long been fascinated by the behavior of light, with optical phenomena, the refraction of light through prisms, the reflections generated by mirrors, and the creation of new and unexpected colors when different light sources interact with one another. What interests me most is the way something seemingly intangible can change our perception of space and create experiences that feel both physical and immaterial.

 

  My work includes paintings, structurals pieces, and installations made with acrylic paint, wood, acrylic sheets, iridescent materials, and RGB lighting systems. While the materials may change from project to project, my investigation remains consistent. Each body of work begins with a question about light and its capacity to transform what we see.

​

  As in a kind of kaleidoscope, my work is built from repeating geometric forms that expand, multiply, and shift. Through geometric structures, modular patterns, and compositions inspired by the spectrum of light, I create situations where color is no longer fixed and becomes an active, ever-changing phenomenon, changing in shape, space, and the viewer's position.

​

  Geometry serves as a visual language throughout my work. Triangles, like prisms, and modular arrangements reveal aspects of light that often go unnoticed. I am particularly drawn to the tension between order and expansion: a luminous point that multiplies, a beam of light that breaks apart, or a structure that generates endless chromatic variations and space.

Through this carefully balanced exploration, I have developed a visual language that continues to evolve through the relationship between geometry, abstraction and kineticism.

​

  Beyond the physical phenomenon, my work incorporates a contemplative and spiritual dimension. I understand light as a metaphor for transformation, awareness, and connection. I seek to create experiences that invite viewers to slow their gaze, question the stability of what they perceive, and recognize that reality is a dynamic process of relationships between light, space, color, and observer.

​

  Through these investigations, my intention is to generate spaces of wonder and reflection where art, science, and perception converge, revealing the capacity of light to expand our understanding of the world and of ourselves.
