Victor Vasarely, a Hungarian-French artistconsidereda forerunner of op-art (optical art),created many worksexploringgeometric forms and optical effects. Vasarely believed that artcouldbe a universallanguage, and that abstract forms and rhythmscouldcommunicate with the viewerregardless of cultural context. Known for creating compositions based on: geometry - the use of simple shapes such as squares, circles, rhombuses andcubes, illusion effects - the works gavethe impression of movement, pulsation orthree-dimensionalityona flat surface, color contrast - specialattentiontocontrastingcolors (e.g.black and white, intense primary colors),modularity- many of his works were created on the basis of repetitive modules, whichhedeformedinvariousways toachieve the effect ofdepth and movement.

Vasarely's composition "Hyrama Prism" focuses on the motif of a prism - a shape withpolyhedral, symmetrical surfacesthatcansymbolize the splitting of light orthe diversity of perspectives. "Hyrama"canbe a reference to symbolism or mysticism, which in Vasarely's casecouldmean afascination with thescientificside of geometry and light.

Victor Vasarely's works are highly regarded and have had a lasting impact on contemporary art, graphic design and visual culture. Vasarely's abstract forms and geometric compositions appeal to a wideaudiencebecausethey are free from cultural and historical context. This makeshis art relevant eventoday.
Vasarely is often
imitated -both in art and in commercial applications.
Contemporaryartistsinspired by Vasarelyexplore geometric forms,opticalillusionsandcolorinteractionsin their works. Inparticular,artistsin the op-art and postmodern trendscontinue his exploration of spatial illusions. Vasarely-inspired op-art patterns appear in advertisements, animations, set designs and digital graphics. His style influencesapplied design,especially in areas such as generative art, where algorithmscreate patternsresemblinghisworks.
Victor Vasarely has left a lasting
mark in the history of art. His worksare now not only a symbol of the modern era, butalso a source of inspiration forartistsworking in the digital age.Moderntechnologiesallow an evendeeper exploration of visual illusions, which continues his pioneering ideas.
