Mock Me
In Mock Me, Mateo Vargas captures the expressive power of the human face with striking hyperrealism and emotional nuance. This graphite portrait freezes a fleeting, exaggerated gesture—eyes wide, lips puckered in ironic defiance. The image playfully subverts the expected solemnity of portraiture, instead inviting humor, self-awareness, and the queer joy of not taking oneself too seriously. Vargas’s masterful linework conveys texture, energy, and intimacy, while the subject’s theatrical expression hints at deeper themes of identity performance and emotional armor.
