FERNANDO CUETARA

A self-taught artist, Cuetara builds his practice on material exploration and a Hegelian appreciation for beauty, harmony, and form. Guided by curiosity, he has developed a personal visual language that merges manipulated canvases with technology, creating sensual surfaces that bridge povera gestures and minimalist aesthetics. Rather than interpreting or judging his environment, he focuses on the inherent expressiveness of matter—treating the canvas itself as both subject and medium. Like a 19th-century artisan, he reveals the raw qualities of fabric through folds, light, and texture, allowing the material to speak on its own terms.
