Marcel Floris (1914–2007) was a French painter and sculptor, born in Hyères, France. He studied in Aix-en-Provence and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Toulon before moving to Paris after the Second World War. In 1950 he relocated to Caracas, Venezuela, where he established both an artistic practice and a successful career in design. From 1971 onwards, he lived and worked between Venezuela and Ibiza, where he remained until his death.
Floris developed a geometric visual language that combined painting, sculpture, and relief. Working with metal, mirrors, and later painted constructions, he explored the interaction of plane, volume, light, and movement. His distinctive series Cubiplanos and Voluplanos dissolved the boundaries between two- and three-dimensional space, positioning his work within the traditions of Constructive and Concrete Art. His years on Ibiza became central to his mature practice, where he continued to refine a precise geometric vocabulary that united art, architecture, and spatial perception.
Throughout his career, Floris exhibited internationally and received numerous awards, including the Gold Medal at the São Paulo Biennale. His work was presented in institutions such as the Josef Albers Museum in Bottrop and is held in major public and private collections.
