Matilde Pérez Cerda (1916 - 2014) is a Chilean plastic artist who pioneered modern and kinetic art in Chile.

It was in 1960 when she moved to Paris, France that she became interested in kinetic art, especially the work of Victor Vasarely. Matilde Pérez's work experiments with the possibilities of creating virtual movement through optical illusion, based on the investigation of the visual effects of abstract shapes and the use of color.

Matilde Perez realized during his lifetime more than fifty art exhibitions in the world during the 2000s and 2010s, including El Ojo Latino, Colección Luciano Benetton at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Santiago (2008), Exposición Arte en América at the La Moneda Palace Cultural Center (2010-2011), Mavi la Colección at the Visual Arts Museum of Santiago (2011), and her participation in the Official Hall of the National Museum of Fine Arts of Chile in 1939, 1943, 1944, 1947 and 1947.

Her work has also won numerous awards, the BBC calling her "one of the most acclaimed women in the international art world".
