THE PACT
The sculpture presents itself as a silent and balanced encounter between forms and materials, where each element seems to occupy its place not by chance, but by an implicit agreement. On the yakisugi-treated board, the resin and alabaster sphere appears dense and concentrated, a solid and contained core, while the elongated ellipsoidal volume, nuanced in whites and blues, rests diagonally, suggesting movement and fluidity. The tension between stability and lightness, between opacity and transparency, becomes language: the forms dialogue, recognize each other, and establish a silent pact of balance and presence.
The dark board acts as a stage for this relationship, accentuating the depth and offering a space where the agreement between the elements can unfold visually. El Pacto invites the viewer to contemplate, to perceive how harmony and tension coexist, and how each form is sustained and defined in relation to the other, transforming the composition into a symbolic gesture of understanding, trust, and balance.

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.

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.
