About The Artwork

Venus and Adonis is a painting by the Italian late Mannerist artist Paolo Veronese, executed in 1580. This is one of the copies that I had the pleasure and honor to copy In the Prado Museum in Madrid. Technically I tried to make it as true to the original as possible. I used fine linen, made my own gesso with materials from that historical period, applied various primers of red earth, plastered the whites, etc. The subject of the painting is taken from Ovid. It depicts the hunter Adonis sleeping on the lap of Venus. In front of her is Eros, with a whippet. Cupid is portrayed as he attempts to calm the dog's desire to hunt, as Venus had predicted that Adonis would die during a hunt. The underlying theme is the lover's fear of losing his lover.

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.
