Fuentesal Arenillas

Fuentesal Arenillas

Julia Fuentesal and Pablo M. Arenillas studied at the University of Fine Arts in Seville. They have lived and worked in London, Berlin and Madrid, where they currently reside. Their work explores the playful dimension of artistic practice, intertwining autobiographical aspects with formal resources such as the double figure and repetition. In their work processes, wood has a privileged place, using the craft as a reference. They have proposed from games with small pieces to large panels, recovered beams, warm floors, sculptures or spaces, trying and finding forms that stimulate the gaze and the body.
