In Reflected Lineage, Juan Carlos Callejas lets a face surface from the luminous weave of his fiberglass support, like a memory rising through layers of time and pigment. The figure does not point to a specific identity; it stands as an archetype, a presence carrying shared and inherited echoes. Texture and translucency intertwine, turning light into a shifting lens that reveals and conceals. The work hints at a symbolic ancestry, an emotional imprint embedded in the material gesture, as the portrait seems to form, dissolve and reassemble itself in front of the viewer.
