ECHOES OF LIGHT
The sculpture is inscribed directly onto the wall, eliminating any visible support and asserting itself as an active plane where light leaves its mark. Circular gestures and brushstrokes of varying density emerge on the chromatic surface, presenting themselves not as closed forms, but as persistent traces, echoes of a previous movement that continues to vibrate in the material. Light strikes, reflects, and fragments on these gestures, activating them and causing their intensity to vary according to the viewer's position, like a luminous reverberation in constant transformation.
In direct dialogue with architecture, the work transcends its status as an object to become a perceptual and spatial device. It does not offer a fixed image, but rather an experience based on the gaze, time, and the movement of the body. Echoes of Light thus proposes a place of transit and permanence, where light not only illuminates, but also recalls, repeats, and prolongs the gestures inscribed on the surface, making their resonance in space visible.

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.
