background in software programming, he started working as an artist in
the early 2000s. Today, his works have been presented worldwide, for

<div><font color="#000000">Mobile sculptures move slowly and
gracefully in intricate, precise formations, seemingly floating freely
in the air. Circles, squares, lines, and triangles in metal or
acrylic, suspended by barely noticeable nylon threads, create
geometric choreographies based on mathematical algorithms. Elias
Crespin's subtle and hypnotically evocative works invite contemplation
on form, space, movement, and time. Through continuous motion,
apparently endless variations emerge. Shapes expand and fragment, only
to glide together into coherent figures; chaos gives way to order,
complexity to simplicity. The sculptures are controlled by a multitude
of programmed motors concealed beneath the gallery
ceiling.</font></div>
