The small-format work by Javier Martin  "In the clouds" from 2021 shows us a portrait, the eyes look directly at the viewer. Confident and challenging at the same time.
 
In this work, the blue luminous stripe acts as a filter, it facilitates the view, as if through sunglasses. With a technical trick, Javier Martin uses instead of the neon lights an argon light and leaves it to the viewers whether they want the direct eye contact or not.
