Javier Calleja’s diptych delves into the possibilities and complexities of life, presenting two contrasting yet interconnected scenes. On the left, It Wasn’t Me depicts a playful, mischievous moment that teeters between innocence and trouble. On the right, Floating captures the lightness and boundless potential of daydreaming. Together, these two pieces form a subtle yet impactful narrative, holding each figure in a suspended, meaningful instant. Each print is created through a detailed 15-color engraving technique, utilizing 4 photopolymer etching plates. The final color is carefully applied by hand by the printmaker, adding a unique, artisanal touch. The diptych is composed of two prints, with an edition size of 250 for each. The unframed prints measure 56cm x 43cm. The image itself is 30.5cm x 22.5cm, printed on 65gsm Shin Inbe paper, mounted on 290gsm Fabriano Tiepolo paper. The background is digitally printed, while the finishing color is applied by hand, ensuring each print is distinct.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
