This is one of the most famous works of the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio, which for my luck is in the permanent exhibition of the Prado Museum and that I was lucky enough to be able to copy there in 2009. Seeking to approach the master in the most faithful way, I made my own gesso with historical materials and applied various primers to the taste of the time. It shows the Biblical David as a young boy (in accordance with the Bible story) fastening the head of the champion of the Philistines, the giant Goliath, by the hair. Beyond the biblical episode, it is quite possible that Caravagio, a tormented gay man, would like to tell us that the young man always ruthlessly defeats the mature man when it comes to love. I was personally surprised when I discovered that Goliath's head was a Caravaggio self-portrait. The overwhelming impression is of some action intensely personal and private - no triumph, no armies, no victory. Just grief and calm sadness. I love this work of art. It is a beautiful manifestation of pain and the human spirit.

I am an artist and designer. I grew up in Alcobendas and settled in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, in 2003, where I currently reside. From a very young age I developed an enormous interest in history, art history and analog photography, which led me to study Fine Arts, focusing on the world of restoration, thinking about the masters of the Italian Renaissance and the Spanish Baroque. Although finally the absence of creativity in this field of work and study led me to another path. I worked for a time as a copyist at the Prado Museum to study how to paint my favorite classics, and then I devoted myself exclusively to everything that caught my attention both in terms of subjects and techniques (engraving, woodcut, inks on greasy paper, mural painting, egg tempera, polymeric putties with marble dust, etc.) I work as an illustrator in various specialized magazines, as a web designer, creating storyboards for film and television. I went through several multidisciplinary artistic formations, the last one being "Make Make Creative Process". During the study with this artistic training, focused on the synaesthetic process and creativity, I find a line to develop (Prometheu error: conjunction of body, movement, music and space) in which I am currently immersed.
