The phenomenon known as rhythm is present in the most diverse processes, ranging from gestation of a new life, the beating of the heart, the subdivision of days into hours and the
year into seasons, through communicative processes to the entire field of visual expression and interpretation. If the rhythm of sleep can be perceived via the sense of hearing, the visual rhythm
is perceived through sight. It is an inherent characteristic of images. When we create an image, we also create rhythms. Exposing this rhythm implies calling attention to its potentials, both in the dimension of expression and the dimension of meaning. The scarcity of literature on the subject represents a theoretical gap that should be filled.
