Rafael Pérez (b. 1938, Montalbán, Estado Carabobo, Venezuela; d. 2001, Zurich, Switzerland) was a constructivist artist who primarily created paintings and drawings, with a few sculptures. His work from the mid-1960s onward featured intense and uncompromising colors in a strictly geometric style, with no figurative content or titles. Instead, he labeled his paintings unsentimentally according to colors. Pérez's sketchbooks, almost exclusively dedicated to his wife Ursula, are a notable aspect of his creations. These books, created as personal gifts, offer glimpses into his work reserved for his closest circles, particularly his family. While the sketchbooks contain drawings that served as studies for paintings, those that reveal his fascination with the universe and its dimensions in everyday life are particularly noteworthy. The sketchbook presented in this publication was created in Pérez's studio in Dielsdorf, Zurich, in December 1992 as a Christmas present for his wife Ursula. Only minor alterations to the pagination, size, and dedication have been made.
