About this artwork
Fragments of the city that seem to fall apart as we look at them.
In "Vestiges in Flight", ink stains construct a disintegrating territory.
In this work, the city doesn't fall. It flees.
The shapes expand and fragment like dust carried by the wind, leaving an incomplete map of what was.
Here, the ruin is not static: it is in transit, in perpetual flight.
There is no possible return, only the continuous displacement of that which we once inhabited.…
Collagraph is an experimental printmaking technique, made with woodcut ink, but it resembles breathing: presence and disappearance in a single gesture.

« 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.
