Enzo Prina is an Italian contemporary artist whose kinetic moiré works transform static walls into pulsing fields of visual vibration. Born in Italy and now based in Salt Lake City, Utah, he discovered early that overlapping precise lines could create the illusion of motion, a fascination that grew into his signature technique . Working with acrylic, epoxy resin and sometimes aluminum panel, he builds multiple transparent layers, each carrying hair thin grids or concentric arcs. When these layers shift against one another, either by viewer movement or subtle rotation of the surface, waves, spirals and glitches ripple across the picture plane, an effect he likens to digital code made physical.

Process is both scientific and intuitive. Prina begins with vector diagrams plotted on screen, yet final decisions happen in the studio as he sands, pours and polishes resin to achieve glass like depth. Colour palettes range from volcanic reds and charred oranges in the large scale VESUVIUS to cool cobalt and silver in his recent Digital Love series, each hue chosen to amplify the moiré flutter without overwhelming it . The works behave like living organisms, changing under different light conditions and never revealing the same image twice.

Exhibitions at Zach Frank Gallery and Art Miami have sold out rapidly, while short form videos of his canvases spinning on turntables circulate widely online, turning optical illusion into social media spectacle . Through meticulous craft and playful engineering, Prina offers viewers a rare experience: the chance to watch paint stand still while the picture dances.

Enzo Prina is an American contemporary artist born in 1997 and based in Salt Lake City, Utah, whose hypnotic paintings turn simple lines into shimmering fields of motion. He began drawing the moment he could grip a crayon, won a Game Boy in a Walgreens coloring contest at age five, and later taught himself oil painting with a Bob Ross set, experiences that instilled early respect for patience and pigment . While studying filmmaking in high school he discovered moiré patterns and became obsessed with their optical pulse, first replicating them by hand with rulers, then refining the process into a signature style that merges kinetic art with meditative repetition.

Prina now builds each work in layers: he designs digital line arrays, prints them onto fine weave canvas, then hand embellishes every sheet with acrylic and alcohol inks so that no two pieces are identical. The finished surfaces appear to vibrate, glitch and slide as viewers shift position, transforming static walls into living screens. Limited editions such as the That is a Moiré series sell out in weekly drops, and his large scale installations have been featured by Oliver Cole Gallery and across social media, where millions watch him peel masking tape to reveal undulating waves of colour.

Despite rapid success, Prina keeps production intimate, working out of a small studio and shipping worldwide himself. By blending analog precision with digital clarity, he offers a contemporary form of Op Art that feels both scientific and playful, reminding onlookers that vision itself is a moving target and that even the simplest line can contain infinite motion.
