About this artwork
Innocentia presents a girl holding a deer in her arms, both silhouetted against the background of a destroyed city. The scene does not propose escape or explicit drama: it is built from stillness, like an image suspended on the threshold between what was and what can still be.
The child figure embodies innocence as a liminal state: not naive, but vulnerable and resilient. The deer, an ancestral symbol of sensitivity, guidance, and survival, reinforces… this idea of attentive fragility, of life that persists even in devastated territories.
Together they form a silent alliance between the human and the natural, between the fragile and that which knows how to survive.
In contrast to the ruined landscape, Innocentia doesn't impose itself as a heroic promise, but as an ethical presence: that which must be protected. The work poses an open question about the future, not from an epic perspective, but from one of care. Innocence here is not a lost past, but a latent possibility.

« 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.
