About this artwork
The exploration of the sacred presents a feminine figure who embodies the divine not as a fixed or absolute state, but as a transient experience. The work situates the sacred in an unstable territory, where spirituality does not manifest as full revelation, but as a silent passage through ruins, memory, and persistence.
The cloaked woman moves through a decayed landscape, becoming one with it: her body doesn't impose itself on the environment, but… rather passes through it. The cloak—both protective and fragile—acts as a visual and symbolic threshold: it covers, reveals, and dissolves, marking the boundary between the visible and the intangible. The dripping paint and the transparencies reinforce this liminal condition, where the figure seems to exist between what once was and what still endures.

« 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.
