Quietly powerful portrait by Juan Fuentes, carved with his signature attention to expressive line and cultural presence. The figure—wearing a patterned headwrap and flowing garment—meets the viewer with a steady, direct gaze. Fuentes’ layered carving in the face, fabric, and textile patterns emphasizes dignity, resilience, and lived experience, while the rich color palette adds warmth and gravity.
