BODIES AND VOIDS
This piece is based on the tension between mass and absence.
The cubic volume of yellow crystalline resin establishes a stable, almost closed form, which is nevertheless pierced by internal cavities that alter its interpretation and shift its center.
These cavities do not function as decorative holes, but as active spaces: they penetrate the body of the piece and allow light to circulate, revealing changing depths and making visible an internal structure marked by breaks and cracks that have emerged from the process itself. Time is not represented; it remains fixed in the material.
The sculpture does not impose itself as a compact block. It offers itself as a territory to be explored, where the full and the absent coexist in unstable equilibrium. It is at this intersection—between transparency and density, between presence and disappearance—that the work acquires its true spatial and perceptual charge.

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.
