In 2019, Verónica Arís returns to painting with the work 'Crossing'. In it, Arís works on the tension between the charcoal drawing that served as a base and the pictorial material of the oil as a mask, in what Heriberto López called a grammar of chance.
Today, Arís insists on this concept of mask but now pays attention to another tension, namely, the one between the flesh of the subject and the matter of the painting itself, in two different methodological investigations: "Prototype 2.2.20 or when the Martians tried to imitate our DNA" and "The sample". In them, the flesh of the characters is only a pretext for highlighting the possibilities of the brushstroke while working on the color. However, this pictorial complexity has been only reserved for the flesh of the character, while the space surrounding it is approached in the maximum simplification of plans, which are both the concrete matter of the painting and the symbolic space of the character, that other exhibition place in which they are already objects for the gaze of the other.
