Biography

Darie advocated for the use of non-representational, geometric abstraction in Latin America and developed ties with like-minded South American concrete artists like Slovakian-Argentine Gyula Kosice. 

Darie's combination of primary colors, geometric shapes, and vertical and horizontal lines demonstrate the influence of Piet Mondrian's Neoplasticism on his practice, while his kinetic sculptures invite viewers to interact with them, crafting their own geometries. 

In 1946, he joins the Latin-American geometric abstract art group MADI. Later he was a member of Los Diez Pintores Concretos group.
