"Concepto de la obra de arte geométrico-digital de la artista visual ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES (n.1949 Elche, España ) presente en los  catálogos de sus exposiciones (1993–2015) en Madrid, London, Valencia, Alicante y Elche-Elx: Composiciones basadas en, <líneas trazadas en cada 'cuadrado matriz-unidad matemática'> —con lados que consisten en <cuatro horizontes comunicantes>— alineados con los cuadrados adyacentes despliegan un 'continuum' de ritmos visuales expandidos en cartografías de musicalidad. Estos ritmos reflejan una percepción de diversas ciudades y países mediante variables informáticas derivadas de su concepto original de 1991. El potencial geométrico se mantiene hasta alcanzar la armonía de los diagramas digitales de Musicalidad (desde Madrid hasta el Universo): Sweden-Beijing-Africa-Madrid-Greece-New York-Brooklyn-Mumbai Bombay-Europa-Tokyo-Paris-Nepal-Berlin-Latinoamérica-Universo-" 

ILUMINADA GARCÍA-TORRES (n.1949 Elche, España) artista visual, estudió en la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando y en la UCM (1965–1970) en Madrid, donde fue alumna del pintor geométrico Eusebio Sempere

"Concept of the geometric-digital artwork by visual artist ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES (b. 1949, Elche, SPAIN) featured in her exhibition catalogs (1993–2015) in Madrid, London, Valencia, Alicante, and Elche-Elx: Compositions based on <Lines drawn within each 'mathematical unit-matrix square'>— with sides consisting of <'four communicating horizons'>—aligned with adjacent squares, deploy a 'continuum' of visual rhythms expanded into cartographies of musicality. These rhythms reflect a perception of various cities and countries through computer-variables derived from her original 1991 concept. The geometric potential is maintained until reaching the harmony of the digital diagrams of Musicality (from Madrid to the Universe): Sweden-Beijing-Africa-Madrid-Greece-New York-Brooklyn-Mumbai Bombay-Europe-Tokyo-Paris-Nepal-Berlin-Latin America-Universe." 

ILUMINADA GARCÍA-TORRES (b.1949, Spain) is a visual artist who studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando and the UCM (1965-1970) in Madrid, where she was a student of the geometric painter Eusebio Sempere.

​"1991 ILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES (1949 Elche), I dedicate my time to research in Geometric Art as a result of the experience of painting two oil canvases of the sculpture Sleeping Ariadne in Naxos at the Prado Museum (1986-88), Ariadne's THREAD, Velázquez's paintings, and sculptures in Rome 1650) and the AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF PLASTIC FORMS SEMINAR led by computer scientists from the Computation Center, University of Madrid, IBM in 1969 for painters' projects. I learned about it through E. SEMPERE (1923-1985), and I never forgot it, as it opened up a new horizon for me: NEW TECHNOLOGIES in the Visual Arts. Years later, this meant that from the beginning I had to find my own creative project in geometric art, requiring a mathematical formulation to paint and work with a computer. This intense and exciting research blossomed in 1991 with my artwork, COMBINABLES Trazado Espacial Continuo (Continuous Spatial Tracing) by ILUMINADA GARCÍA-TORRES, Geometric Art: Normative, Constructive, and Generative-Digital.

Three geometric forms of expression in the computer-generated, visual arts—Pictorial-Digital, Geometric Words, and Sculptural—sharing a mathematical and geometric concept, which have the square as their basic structure.

In the Painting, for ILUMINADA GARCÍA-TORRES, the line(s) are the essential expression; each line is an affirmation of energy: light-line-space-time. Lines expressed in unique-gesture brushstrokes—the singularity of each line, rhythms (echoes of the heartbeat), color gradations, number, and dimension, in a proportional relationship between the lines and the space of the matrix squares of the modular system. The sides of the squares consisting as four communicating horizons, a "continuum" is generated through the systematic application of the mathematical concept; each action maintains the expansive geometric potential."

"The points-circles have a free representation, either alone or with the lines of the compositions. The Sculpture is projected with cubic and cylindrical structures drawing the vacuum. Geometric Art with new technological and digital media, the works of ILUMINADA GARCIA- TORRES: COMBINABLES, CONTINUOUS SPATIAL TRACING, ARIADNE'S THREAD".
