About this artwork
"Portrait of Arthur Rimbaud." An additive process inspired by carborundum, printed on paper, a recording sheet with woodblock ink, and subsequent acrylic treatment.
The figure of the young French poet emerges in a chiaroscuro that accentuates his restless gaze, as if he were about to escape from the support. The linework combines definition and overflow, evoking the intensity of his short but incandescent literary life. In the background, abstract… stains and textures suggest journeys, escapes, and boiling mental landscapes—echoes of his visionary and rebellious poetry. The portrait does not seek to freeze the historical Rimbaud, but rather to summon the rebellious spirit that shattered forms, opening cracks through which light still enters.

« 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.
