In Javier Calleja's daydream a whimsical character floats, detached from reality.
Floating sees a carefree figure suspended in the air. Blushing, with hands shyly in their pockets, they innocently yet mischievously look towards a single daisy perched on their head. Pink bubble letters add to the lightness of the scene, completing the composition. Originally drawn in pencil, Calleja's soft use of colour lends a dream-like quality to his snapshot of the limitless possibilities of youth.
The print is a 15 colour engrave, using 4 photopolymer etching plates with a final colour applied by hand by the printmaker.
