About this artwork
The Lactis Elegy presents a woman wrapped in a dark cloak holding a baby, while at her feet a broken vessel spills milk onto the ground of a destroyed city. The scene alludes to Baroque Marian iconography—the nursing Virgin, the Mater Dolorosa—but displaced to a contemporary territory of loss and desolation. The spilled milk functions as a central symbol: primordial nourishment, vital sustenance, and a promise of care that can no longer be fully…
fulfilled. In the Baroque, what is spilled speaks of the irretrievable, of time that does not return, of interrupted grace.
Here, that silent gesture becomes an elegy: not a strident lament, but a contained, almost ritualistic sadness.
The contrast between the dark cloak and the child's white blanket accentuates the tension between shadow and purity, between ruin and possibility. The maternal body sustains and protects, but also reveals the weight of a fractured world.

« 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.
