Micaela (Color) is a striking portrait by Juan Fuentes, featuring a woman adorned with geometric face markings and vibrant accents of turquoise, gold, and deep blue. Set against a solid black background, the figure’s expression is calm yet powerful, emphasizing identity, lineage, and cultural continuity. The bold color palette and rhythmic carving showcase Fuentes’ signature approach to representing Indigenous and Latinx subjects with dignity and symbolic resonance.
