CRYSTAL EBONY
"Crystal Ebony" is a contemporary sculpture created from crystal-clear resin and ebony wood; the combination of these two materials creates a kind of metaphor—the fusion of the organic and the artificial into a single form. Chaos is contained within a basic geometric shape, from which its rhythms and play of light seem to strive to escape.

The series of contemporary sculptures created by Álvaro Quintana and Jesús de la Fuente for DELAFUENTEART PROJECT stems from a collaborative creative process, in which sculpture is understood as a field of tension between gesture, space, and matter.
His sculptural exploration draws on a variety of influences: the formal intensity of Expressionism, the radical nature 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 rather presence: signature sculptures that assert themselves in space with strength, silence, and balance.
In these works, geometry coexists with expressive energy. Each sculpture bears the imprint of the creative process, of a restrained gesture, and of a precise decision. The reference to tradition—from Velázquez and El Greco to Mondrian—does not appear as a direct allusion, but rather as a profound understanding of the weight of space, verticality, and composition.
Produced by DELAFUENTEART PROJECT, the series reflects an approach to sculptural edition as part of the creative act itself: a collaboration in which thought, technique, and form advance inseparably.
The works are presented as autonomous entities, conceived to engage with the contemporary space and to be integrated into collections that value the formal intensity, conceptual strength, and enduring nature of contemporary sculpture.

DELAFUENTEART PROJECT
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.
