Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, visual artist Paul Sende caught the creative bug early, with jazz and instrumental music often being played in his childhood home. It helped pave the way to the exploration of geometric shapes as a kid before moving on to disassembling old electronics he found at his grandparents’ house. Motors, lights, and anything with a battery were fair game. Soon, Sende found himself digging through discount bins at toy stores to find circuits he could use to create new sounds. At this point, his work began to bridge the gap between analog and digital, and he actively furthered his learning via the internet and software. This all occurred by the time Sende, at 14 years old, had his Flash animations debuted on MTV.

The visual artist went on to study Multimedia Arts at National University of Art in Argentina. There, Sende was encouraged to work with different media and techniques, finding his sweet spot in modularity, visual patterns, optical effects, light phenomena, and kinetic experiences.
CL Light Sculpture
His artistic endeavors, focused on abstraction and geometry rooted in perception, are presently featured at Tuleste Factory as part of Chromatic Stance, an exhibit celebrating color and form through various mediums in an inspiring and diverse showcase. With a total of eight lighting works and sculptures on display, Sende’s bold works invite visitors to spend time with energetic neon lights and stoic geometric totems. Your interests will be peaked by the stories each piece tells.
CL Light Sculpture
Sende relies on many techniques and tools in his work, which encompasses light installations, sculptures, screenprints, paper cutouts, painting, digital art, programmed objects, image-generating devices, silkscreens, and more. It’s a diverse body of work unencumbered by material limits that thrive within Sende’s framework of geometry and abstraction.
The visual artist has exhibited at the Malba Museum, Art Basel Miami, Pinta Parc, Recoleta Cultural Center, Palermo Hippodrome, Betahaus Berlin, Pabellón 4 Gallery, ArteBa, Ciudad Emergente Festival, and more. Where will his talents land next?
