The sculpture was created by Venezuelan-American artist Rafael Barrios, who is well known for his optical illusion sculptures.
"The location of the Obtusa in Reykjavík has been chosen so that people can walk around the sculpture and observing how the shapes of this 4 m tall three-dimensional sculpture change from different viewpoints.
Rafael Barrios (b. 1947) is internationally recognized for his art. Many art collections around the works own works by Barrios, such as the Caracas Contemporary Art Museum in Venezuela, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada, and the Museum of Outdoor Sculpture of Alcalá de Henarés, Spain."
