About this artwork
"Architecture of Loss": There are cities that are not destroyed from the outside, but from within.
There are still walls, there are still shapes, but there is no longer a home.
The painting reconstructs these remains: spaces where time stopped, where humanity was barely a trace.
This architecture does not seek to contain but to let go.
They are plans of mourning. A façade of what we once were. Each line is a crack. Each stain, a memory that refuses… to be erased.
These works do not represent the end. They represent the echo.

« I feel the need to see what is on the other side of things, the eternal search to know that there is something beyond what we can perceive. »
Cris Fuentes is a visual artist specializing in painting, based in Argentina, whose works have been widely exhibited nationally, as well as in Italy, Nepal, Ecuador, Denmark, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil. She describes her art as based on action painting, which has converged with expressionism, in which figuration and abstraction complement each other, "blurring a possible boundary between one language and another." A nostalgia for absences and a sense that art is about filling a void have always been present in her works. Her artistic need could not be expressed in any other way than through gestures, with the power of a brushstroke. The figure of the ruin, from a material and conceptual perspective, has appealed to her as a representation of vestiges. Interestingly, ruins constitute metaphors for what interests her as an artist: inner states and the act of immersing oneself within only to re-emerge.
