This mesmerizing modern artistic portrait exemplifies the rigorous, genre-bending studio practice of the creative partnership Hunter & Gatti (2010–2023). Part of the elite Opposed Tendencies series, the mixed media masterwork utilizes premium fine art paper to host a heavily stylized, dreamlike female countenance. The artists masterfully subvert the photographic base by applying thick, tactile strokes of black oil wax and fluid acrylics that cut across the composition like structural cracks or geological fissures, leaving a singular eye framed in a cutout effect.

The artists further explore the endless possibilities of transformation by transforming something as ephemeral as a fashion editorial into something completely different and original: a unique work of art.

Cristian Hunter’s work starts from that belief. His photographs —created over a solid international career— are not mere documents, but open territories where painting, texture, and gesture expand photography into new dimensions of meaning. Hunter explores how an image can shift in meaning over time—how context, memory, and manual intervention can transform what was once captured into something newly revealed. Each piece is an invitation to look again, to uncover what lies beneath the visible. Guided by the premise that “nothing stays still,” he works from his personal archive, reinterpreting it, giving new life to what was once lived, and breaking the linear flow between past and present. His lens has captured renowned figures such as Pharrell Williams, Penélope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez, Ewan McGregor, Lalisa Manoban, Adria Arjona, and Bruno Mars, among many others. Yet his focus goes beyond portraiture—what truly interests him is what remains when the image stops being literal and begins to emerge as a living object. His current body of work includes both new pieces and selected artworks from the artistic legacy of Hunter & Gatti, which he now manages. These are duly credited as “ created by Hunter & Gatti,” presented alongside his personal practice and establishing a dialogue between history, transformation, and contemporary gaze. His work has been exhibited in cities such as Barcelona, New York, and Miami, and reflects a visual practice grounded in experience, exploration, and ongoing evolution.
