Francisco Ratti

May 12, 2025 by Arseny Vesnin in 2025, Art, Argentina, Digital Art, Portfolios
“My artistic practice develops around the different possible ways of creating images, dialoguing with tradition and art history from a current perspective. I am interested in constructing an image permeable to the present and reality that establishes an explicit dialogue with the digital image. I address traditional painting about new media and ways of looking at and translating reality. A question underlies this work:
How do we look at a painting, and how do we look at a screen?”
— Francisco Ratti

Francisco Ratti grew up amidst Patagonia's dry winds and vast open spaces, where he first discovered his connection to painting. He later earned his Bachelor's degree and now teaches painting as a professor of visual arts at the Faculty of Arts, National University of La Plata. Based in La Plata, where he lives and works, Ratti's artistic practice explores the concept of surfaces, opening up thoughtful dialogues between the digital and analogue realms.

Ratti paints from a place of contradiction and doubt, where every colour, form, and gesture interrogates itself. For him, uncertainty is not a weakness but a generative force—an insistence that gradually sharpens into clarity. His work emerges from internal battles, where buried images resurface, dissolve, and reconfigure. Ratti sees disorientation as essential; getting lost becomes a pathway to recognition.

In the suspended space between dawn and dusk, his painting becomes both wound and river — a site of confrontation, transformation, and fleeting wholeness.

VXN

April 03, 2023 by Arseny Vesnin in 2023, Digital Art, Graphic Design, Glitch, NFT Art, Argentina, Portfolios

Buenos Aires-based Victoria Campobello, is known by her artistic moniker VXN. Her artistic style fuses 3D software and sculpture to deconstruct and transform bodies and environments. Through a blend of techniques, themes, and visual languages, she crafts intricate compositions that straddle the line between figurative and abstract, merging seemingly disparate aesthetics.

VXN's work envisions the interplay between nature, organic growth, sexuality, and cyberspace, capturing the digital age's disconnection between mind and body. She leads a collective of Latin American creatives at @CryptoArg_, focusing on digital art, physical exhibitions, and metaverse events in the NFT space. They aim to encourage a slower, more contemplative approach to art consumption and bring a conceptual mindset to the crypto-verse.

As a freelance 3D designer, VXN collaborates with clients in the fashion, music, and advertising industries. She is committed to challenging the limits of digital artistry and experimenting with various mixed-reality tools.

Owner of a pictorial style, she is well known for her anachronisms and the use of the absurd and the irony to approach modern issues. The attempt to grant a fresh air to the classic style is another important characteristics of her work.

Elisa Insua

January 10, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Art, Argentina, Portfolios, Sculpture, Spain

Born and raised as artist in Buenos Aires, Elisa Insua continues her upcycle practice after moving to Madrid

“Economic studies are based on a series of basic principles: one of them states that, for any given individual, “the more, the better”. My work tries to push this axiom to the limit of excess and abundance, in order to tense it, question it or even defy it.”

“My pieces are about desire, opulence, ostentation and luxury. I apply the concept of the “hedonic treadmill” (the tendency of humans to return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite increases in wealth or the achievement of major goals) and the straight-forward myth of King Midas and his Golden Touch. Social ascent, the “American Dream”, economic inequality, endless irresponsible consumption and the effects of capitalism are also recurring themes.” text from MTArt Agency

Claudia Fontes ceramics "Fungus" sculptures

December 13, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in 2019, Art, Argentina, Portfolios, Sculpture, United Kingdom

Claudia Fontes is an Argentinean visual artist based in England who explores through her actions, objects and research the poetic space and alternative modes of perception of culture, nature, history and society that emerge from processes of decolonization, be they personal, interpersonal, or social. She is well-known for her work “The Horse Problem” - top art installation at Venice Biennial in 2017. Her recent ceramic sculptures are gripping each other tight as they are transformed into fungus like growths and spores in an eerie but romantic series.

Painting Machines by Lolo & Sosaku

July 15, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in 2019, Art, Argentina, Japan, Portfolios

Lolo (Buenos Aires) and Sosaku (Tokyo) investigate the possibilities of sculpture as an expanded field. The nexus that unites his works is the search for an object in contact with his surroundings and with the spectator. An object that seeks friction, friction, and tension. His work moves between different languages such as sculpture, installation, kinetic art and painting. Its modus operandi: to constitute itself as a subject, and from its machinic materiality, to point to transcendence, to mysticism and to the unknown.

Suspended Ocean Wave Installations by Miguel Rothschild

February 20, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Argentina, Germany, Portfolios, Sculpture, 2018

"Multidisciplinary artist Miguel Rothschild works across a wide variety of mediums from modified photography to glass sculpture and textiles. In several recent works the Argentine artist has captured the slow roll of ocean waves in suspended fabric installations titled Elegy and De Profundis. Both artworks seem to play with the viewer’s perception, appearing both as waves or perhaps a slice of the sky. Even the filament that holds the artwork airborne seems to glisten like rays of sun or rain. You can see more of the Berlin-based artists work on his website."

"Destierro" by Anish Kapoor

Parque de la Memoria
June 23, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Argentina, United Kingdom, 2017

Artist Anish Kapoor is back with a new exhibition titled Destierro – which translates from Spanish into ‘exile’ The exhibition, taking place at Parque de la Memoria in Buenos Aires, features three installations that see Kapoor veering back towards his signature style of work with pigmented powder. However, unlike his previous work, the three pieces on display in Argentina shine a spotlight on the global migration crisis marking a change in direction for Kapoor who has, up until recently, shied away from making political work.

Kapoor is the first British artist to put on a solo exhibition in Argentina. The space, Parque de la Memoria, is also known as Remembrance Park as it was built in memory of those killed by Argentina’s military regime between 1976 and 1983.“Destierro (exile) can be seen as one of the major global dramas of our time," says the exhibition’s curator Marcello Dantas. “This exhibition was reborn in light of our urgent times.”
