The Other That Reveals Me unfolds as a portrait suspended between clarity and dissolution. Working on his handmade fiberglass support, Juan Carlos Callejas layers glazes, scrapes and translucent pigments to let the face emerge slowly from a deep blue ground. Light activates each fragment, shifting the expression as the viewer moves, giving the work a quiet yet magnetic presence. The portrait becomes a mirror: an encounter with another that reflects back our own inner landscapes. With its refined materiality and emotional depth, the piece exemplifies Callejas’ ability to transform a fleeting gaze into something resonant and enduring.
