Juan Francisco Ruiz

Tecnica: The portrait was created using colored pencils and markers, employing successive layers and controlled strokes to achieve smooth transitions in the skin, chromatic depth, and definition in the features. The combination of both techniques allows for a balance between precision and tonal richness, adding texture and luminosity to the overall composition.

Descrizione: This work presents a female portrait with a frontal gaze that establishes a direct dialogue with the viewer. The composition focuses attention on the eyes, conceived as the emotional and narrative axis, from which emerges a sense of introspection, vulnerability, and quiet presence.

The detailed treatment of the skin, facial features, and hair texture seeks to capture not only physical appearance but also an inner state. Soft light models the face and reinforces the intimate atmosphere, while the suspended expression suggests a moment before words or conscious thought.

Through hyperrealism, the work explores identity, sensitivity, and human connection, inviting the viewer to pause and confront their own gaze reflected in the portrait.
