Bolivar was born in 1932 in Salto, Uruguay, and participated in the Uruguayan constructivist school inspired by Torres Garcia. Since 1963 he has lived near Paris and participated in the MADI movement.
His works are to be found in museums in Uruguay, Venezuela, Mexico, the MOMA in New York and the Bibliotheca Nacional and the National Fund for Contemporary Art in Paris. He lives and works in Savigny-sur-Orge near Paris.
MADI is a great artistic adventure, and perhaps, the only existing movement which can justify half a century of existence. MADI is more than an avant-garde movement; it has an underlying wave with several and differing offspring. It is the slow-paced growth of a tectonic plate in the history of art. Indeed, since art and environment are perveived as the fusion of two cultural phenomena, the progression and expression of both of these blend in everyday life.
