AMBER RAISED TO THE THIRD POWER
Amber raised to the cube concentrates light in a solid state.
The geometric shape does not act as a container, but as a boundary: a precise volume that allows color, density, and time to manifest themselves without dispersion.
The translucent resin, shot through with deep amber, orange, and ochre tones, registers the passage of light as an active material. Cracks, internal variations, and tensions in the material are not corrected; they remain visible as traces of the process, fixing a latent, contained energy in the volume.
Each side of the cube responds differently to light and the viewer's movement, meaning that the piece cannot be read in a single glance, but rather as an accumulation of moments. The work does not represent amber: it condenses it, heightening its intensity until it becomes a spatial and perceptual experience.

The series developed by Álvaro Quintana and Jesús de la Fuente for DA PROJECT stems from a shared creative process, in which sculpture is understood as a field of tension between gesture, space, and matter.
The research draws on diverse influences: the formal intensity of expressionism, the radicalism of Franz Kline's brushstrokes, the chromatic depth of Rothko, and the spatial dimension of artists such as Isamu Noguchi and Barnett Newman.
The work does not seek representation, but presence: structures that assert themselves in space with strength, silence, and balance.
In these pieces, geometry coexists with expressive impulse. Each sculpture preserves the traces of the process, the restrained gesture, and the precise decision. The reference to tradition—from Velázquez and El Greco to Mondrian—does not appear as a quotation, but rather as a deep understanding of the weight of space, verticality, and composition.
Produced by DA PROJECT, the series reflects a way of understanding sculptural editing as part of the creative act itself: a collaboration in which thought, technique, and form advance inseparably.
The works are presented as autonomous entities, designed to interact with contemporary spaces and be integrated into collections that value formal intensity, conceptual solidity, and the permanence of sculpture.

DELAFUENTE / QUINTANA
Álvaro Quintana Escobar (1991), an artist trained in Fine Arts with a master's degree in Heritage Conservation, and Jesús de la Fuente (1972), an artist and sculpture producer, develop a joint practice that lies at the intersection between sculptural creation, material research, and technical knowledge.
Within the framework of DELAFUENTEART, they combine the development of their own work and sculptural production with the exploration of processes, materials, and formal solutions applied to contemporary sculpture, combining artistic practice and production at an international level.
