Lumbres continues Carla’s formal investigation into drawing and its multiple trajectories. Digging and burr persist in the artist’s imaginary as both process and narrative: a material gesture inherited from printmaking that shifts, seeking new visual inscriptions between memory and imagination.

In this series of works, the support becomes a wasteland of psychedelic light inhabited by brass creatures. A fine veil of black gold rests on the surface of the canvas, breaking the saturation of the landscape until transforming it into a muddy terrain. The series incorporates the metallic core that runs through the artist’s sculptural practice: joints, rivets, tensions, and balances migrate from object to drawing as foundational elements of the image.

Carla Grunauer (1982, Tucumán) is an artist born and trained in Tucumán, a region shaped by the overlapping of pre- Columbian, colonial, and contemporary matrices. This layered condition becomes the logic through which she thinks and constructs her images. The universes that permeate her work propose a collaboration between species, where each organism finds in the other the impulse needed to reinvent itself, forge new alliances, and continue telling stories.
