Description

Once in My Life is an iconic diptych by Javier Calleja, a Spanish artist with an immediately recognizable style: characters with large, expressive eyes, oscillating between naivety, humor, and melancholy.

Created in 2022 in collaboration with Avant Arte, this limited edition of 200 copies sold out within minutes of its release.
The message 'Once in My Life' reflects the subtle poetry of Calleja's work: the ephemeral beauty of moments and the sincerity of a child's gaze facing the world.

Printed with pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, the two artworks retain remarkable depth and texture.
Highly sought after on the secondary market, they are among the artist's most coveted editions, alongside Do Not Touch, No Art Here, and Little Maurizio.
