Aún quedan

 

"Aún quedan" ("There Are Still Some") (2025), 40 x 60 cm, engraving on plastic, was made for the Salón Manuel Belgrano 2025, continuing the line of ecological and social themes explored in earlier pieces presented at this salón, such as "La esperanza" (2021).

The concept

The piece follows a solitary figure — nicknamed "the archaeologist" — contemplating a devastated riverside landscape of silos, ruins, a dead cow and a vulture. In the lower corner, a dumpster containing a human figure alludes to the femicide violence reported in Rosario's news. Above the ruins, an equestrian statue gestures at the country's militarist decline, while faint engraved flowers in the distance nod to "Quedará lo grabado" and to "La esperanza" (2021), holding out hope for a more beautiful future.

Materials

Engraved with a burin on plastic; a unique piece, not part of a numbered edition.
