El Quijote

 

Within the depths of “El Quijote” lies Miguel Cervantes’s iconic narrative. This traces back to the corridors of my childhood, where I first saw the character’s adventures. A true superhero at heart, this whimsical and romantic figure embodies a blend of humor and pathos. Inviting us to find reflections of ourselves within each of his exploits.

Unyielding and stubborn, he refuses to relinquish traditional norms and rules. Indeed, it echoes the romanticized ideals of chivalry, defending and honoring the fairer sex. Moreover, Cervantes’s masterpiece transcends epochs, a testament to the eternal nature of love and compassion. Timeless concepts that refuse to fade.

With vigor, this character draws us into his whirlwind of adrenaline, enticing our engagement in his defying adventures. He becomes a beacon, shattering the shackles of routine and responsibilities and infusing our lives with adventure.

In our ever-transient world, where laughter and sorrow fleetingly pass, the quest for a balanced, joyous zeal demands years of arduous experiences. Yet, despite the knight’s perceived age and the fragility of his time, El Quijote’s strength remains undiminished—a testament to enduring literature that traverses centuries.

Technically, the red-orange hue evokes the fiery enthusiasm of his spirit. Meanwhile, the visual pattern, reminiscent of aged tree bark, roots him deeply in the soil of tradition. Just as the literature in the same way appears invisible to some. The passage of decades shapes our interpretation alongside us as we mature in the embrace of our heroes.

In youth, we seek heroes with energy and adventure, offering mirrors to ourselves. However, as time weaves the disruption of life, it teaches us to flow the ocean of existence. Earned through the crucible of battle against the adversities we conjure. In short, it is a reflection both in literature and life, echoing through the windmills of El Quijote.

Kneeling

To begin with, the position of “Kneeling” is a symbol of security and comfort. This posture tells a story delving deep into the core of our feelings, where solace and celebration blend.

To continue our journey on this subject. It begins even before our first breath in our mother’s womb—moreover, a realm of security, a universe painted with beautiful images. We are natural swimmers in this cosmos as we dwell within. Yet, as life grows beyond the womb, many of us forget to flow, with potentially dire consequences. The security we once held within us slips away rapidly. And once we emerge into the world, we seldom yearn to return.

This subject materialized during technological advancement as I was engrossed in a spontaneous moment watching a music video. The actor knelt inside a semi-cave. Further, adopting the same fetal position. It’s a gesture that spanned countless years, touching our shared human experience.

I employed a model to infuse the artwork with emotion in my creative process. The idea also connects to the ancient Inca civilization. Their disease rests in colossal vessels, echoing the fetal embrace of life and death.

This theme also goes back to a time of innocence. A cherished memory of a loved one.  Who introduced me to this profound subject. Sometimes, as we delve deeper into the intricacies of life and its meanings, we are met with both pain and reward. We navigate a world awash with judgments, and our patience wanes for those who embrace falsehoods.

I have always been deeply passionate about teaching art to children and sharing the boundless possibilities of the creative process.

“Kneeling” is more than a mere artistic endeavor. It’s a testament to the human journey. It reminds us that we find strength and resilience even in our most vulnerable moments. To conclude, it offers solace to the soul and connects us to the universal embrace of the fetal position.Kneeling
