He looks as if he’s been wandering a long time: searching and gathering fragments of brightness in an endless expanse. The work recalls Mark Justiniani’s early explorations with human stories and symbols, merged with his later studies of light, depth, and reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe man becomes all of us in this artwork: moving through darkness, reaching for light, trying to make sense of the space between what is real and imagined. In this quiet suspension, Justiniani reminds us that wonder is never still: it flickers, disappears, and returns again, as infinite as the stars themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE ARTIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBorn in Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Mark Justiniani emerged in the late 1980s as an artist-activist and member of artist collectives ABAY, Salingpusa, Sanggawa, and Sakay. His early works depicted everyday Filipino life with empathy and humor, a gradual pivot from the social realism of the nineteen-seventies Marcos era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBy the late 1990s, Justiniani began exploring beyond painting, experimenting with mirrors, glass, steel, and light to create immersive constructions that examined perception, depth, and infinity. His five-year stay in the United States in the 2000s further deepened this inquiry, shifting his focus toward the intersection of the virtual and the real. While rooted in narrative and magical realism, his art continues to probe how light, reflection, and perspective shape human experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJustiniani has exhibited widely in the Philippines and abroad and received the prestigious Thirteen Artists Award from the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBUY 1, DONATE BOOKS TO JUAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEvery purchase of this puzzle is matched with book donations to children from disadvantaged communities in the Philippines in support of CANVAS’ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.canvas.ph\/1millionbooks\"\u003e1 Million Books for 1 Million Filipino Children Campaign\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Looking for Juan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42431318130770,"sku":null,"price":15000.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/2776\/9938\/files\/justiniani_framed_haraya_2.jpg?v=1780308789","url":"https:\/\/lookingforjuan.com\/products\/haraya-by-mark-justiniani-framed-puzzle-edition","provider":"Looking for Juan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
