About this artwork
This work is part of the Architecture of Loss series, a project in which I explore the city as a space of memory and abandonment. I am interested in observing what happens when the human presence disappears and only the structures remain: walls, lines, fragments that bear witness to a history.
In Emptiness, the city appears devastated and silent. There are no figures, no movement. Emptiness becomes the protagonist. I work with drawing on canvas… to emphasize the fragility of the architecture, as if the buildings were vestiges that could vanish at any moment.
My practice focuses on investigating the relationship between space and absence. Cities are symbolic territories where the viewer can project their own memory. Emptiness is not simply lack: it is a trace, a resonance, a pause.
Through this series, I seek to transform architecture into an emotional body, where each structure holds a story.

« 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.
