Iván Navarro transforms light into a primary medium, converting familiar objects into electric sculptures that alter the perception of space through luminous interaction. His work balances a sense of playfulness with deeper reflections on power, control, and confinement, using the visual language of light to provoke both sensory and conceptual engagement.
