Born in Poland, Caziel spent the major years of his artistic development in France. His painting developed through a synthesis of many diverse elements into an individual form of cubist Abstraction during the 1940's. This very expressive style became apparent during his five-year close friendship with Picasso. In 1951, Caziel joined the 'Groupe Espace', whose program sought to unite constructivist art with architecture to create a new environment appropriate to the modern age. Caziel's expression of the fourth dimension resulted in paintings of superimposed biomorphic shapes and lines in different strong colours against a black or a white background. These works reverberate light, space and rhythm in order to create a sensation similar to emotions engendered by music. During the 1950's his paintings evolved into rigorous geometrical patterns.
