is impossible for me to avoid the psychological content of a painting, even in
science fiction we perceive the human nature that is created by the author which
signifies his own senses in many cases but also the capacity to join two scenarios:
the real and the unreal; for this reason The Quixote is an icon of the literature
that man wrote along history and because of the impact of its human content. That
is why I painted it, to express the human components of a fiction story created
by Cervantes. When we observe slowly this painting, we identify that mysterious
world that wraps the eye of the observer, making him part of the scenario, same
as happened when we read the adventure of the Hidalgo. At the background of
the painting it's declared expressions of peace and sublimity. I applied tones
of ciaroscuro that combines three components: space, earth, the figure of El Quixote
and the presence of Cervantes; there also we see some curved lines trying to trespass
the bi dimensional format to the real world where we live and making us participants
of it's content. The thinking of El Quixote is being represented by the figures
of small opened books that circulate for the space same as the words flying on
the space. The sight of El Quixote is direct to those who observe him, willing
to travel thru the sub conscience. The expression of his face is out of this world
of material things but also to display the essence of his feelings centered by
the shape of his eyes. In his face there is the presence of many primitive components
of the human being and a silver chin that signifies the maturity and youth. His
chest is divided to differentiate the beauty of his interior truth and the truth
contained in his heart. |
