Born in Spain, PEREZ MELERO began his career in Venezuela where he lived from the late 1950's until the early 1980's when he relocated to New York. He was granted US Citizenship in the early 1990’s as “a person of outstanding abilities in the arts”. Maintaining studios in Caracas and Miami, his work is in many public and private collections including the Spanish Museum of Contemporary Art, CANTV, Fundarte, the American Institute of Architects, Intel Corporation, the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and the Women in Military Service to America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC. “My 3-dimensional constructions are built mostly from wood, paper, canvas and acrylic paint. Their ideas evolve from an organic and intuitive process. The final work is a combination of my creative vision and a highly organized process employing disciplines of geometry and applied design. Viewers should interact physically with my constructions. They need to walk around them and view them from different perspectives. Up close one can see the detailed and intricate methods of their construction. From further back, one can appreciate their total effect. Colour and light and how they interact are central to my work. Colour is painted on pieces of wood attached to a high-contrast geometric background. Light penetrates between them, reflecting colour from one to another and on the background. These reflected colours seem to mix in the air and produce an impression of others. As light sources change angle or intensity, and as the viewer moves around the work, new colours can be perceived even though they aren't really there. The interaction between colour and light has produced an illusion.
