Yaacov Agam was born in 1928 in Rishon Lezion, Israel. He studied at the Bezalel School of Art in Jerusalem.

Agam's work is related to the rejection of the traditional concepts of painting and sculpture in favor of the kinetic and op art. His paintings and three dimensional objects can be either transformed manually or else are made in such a way that the images shift and change as one walks in front of them.
Agam stresses the importance of the two dimensional quality of what in reality may have three dimensions. His creative activity includes theater and architectural projects, film making, writing and typography. All his preoccupations involve the concept of time, change and movement. Agam have had numerous exhibitions and installations worldwide, at the MoMA in New York, in St. Louise, Paris, Dusseldorf, Jerusalem and more.
Waves is a circle work, another example of Agam's recognized two-dimensional kinetic style. The wavy and colorful shapes create a misleading dynamic three dimensional movement. The rhythm of the work enhances its vertical and horizontal directions while the colors deceive the eye and seemingly create a movement.
