This is a short text about artist Antonio Jose Fernández-Muro-Toño:
De dichos períodos, su estancia en la ciudad de Nueva York en los años ‘60 será quizás uno de los más importantes. Allí sus tramas planas de moiré y sus screens de puntos coloristas, aplicadas sobre difuminadas geometrías -recuerdos del Buenos Aires de los’50-, comenzarán a adquirir relieve y a tornarse monocromáticas, con tonos dorados, plateados, ocres y negros dominando las telas, ahora cubiertas de finísimas láminas de aluminio con borrosas texturas de puntos estampados
"colorful dots"? Colorist obvious exists, but it seems weird here
Thanks

dotted color blocks
If you look at images of his work, most of the dotted color blocks are in gray and black. In one case the dots look like US pennies. But he was definitely not a pointillist. Here are links to images of his dotted color blocks:

Not many hits for 'dotted color blocks', but the following image uses the description and looks like his paintings:

pointillist screens
Pointillism used the science of optics to create colors from many small dots placed so close to each other that they would blur into an image to the eye. This is the same way computer screens work today. The pixels in the computer screen are just like the dots in a Pointillist painting.
Associated artists: Maximilien Luce; Georges Seurat

What is pointillism?
Pointillism, also called divisionism and chromo-luminarism, in painting, the practice of applying small strokes or dots of colour to a surface so that from a distance they visually blend together.

See the dots that make up the man from Seurat's painting The Circus Pointillism used the science of optics to create colors from many small dots placed so close to each other that they would blur into an image to the eye. This is the same way computer screens work today. The pixels in the computer screen are just like the dots in a Pointillist painting. Examples of Pointillism A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (Georges Seurat) This painting is by far the most famous of the Pointillism paintings. It was George Seurat's masterpiece. It is over 6 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Every bit of the painting is done with tiny little dots of pure color. Seurat worked on it for around two years. You can see it today at the Art Institute of Chicago. Sunday on the Island of La Grande Jatte (Click image to see larger version)

Muriel Vasconcellos
: If you look at his paintings, he is not a pointillist in the way that Seurat used colored dots. He uses large square blocks of dots. They are not 'colorful' at all; they are 'color blocks'.

José Antonio Fernández-Muro
20th century
(Madrid, Spain, 1920 – 2014, Madrid, Spain)
José Antonio Fernández-Muro was born in Madrid in 1920 and emmigrated to Argentina in 1938, where he became an Argentine citizen. Fernández-Muro's early work was geometric, often incorporating texture and using a stencil to cover his canvases in dots. It underwent a drastic change after Fernández-Muro moved to New York in 1962. He began to produce foil impressions of manhole covers and sidewalks that he obtained from the streets of New York at night, which he then adhered to his paintings. This series was contemporaneous with the Pop art movement in the United States and shared many similarities to the flag paintings of Jasper Johns.
