Totem Fuente is a quiet yet powerful meditation on balance, polarity, and presence. Through the pairing of two opposing figures, Portilla explores duality not as conflict, but as a state of mutual tension and support. The piece echoes themes of stillness and flux, inviting the viewer to reflect on the energy held between opposing forms.
Design
The artwork is grounded by a deep ochre base, above which two vertically rising forms contrast in tone and geometry. A minimalist beige background highlights their interaction, while a soft blue circle adds a surprising point of detail. With its restrained palette and sculptural quality, the composition reads like a modern relic.
