Funes the Memorious

OK, here goes nothing. haha, It's been really busy lately but finally I'm able to post a little teaser of what's coming up. Here's one a of a series of pieces I've been working on for the last few months. I'm not sure if I'll tweak it a little more but I think is pretty much done. This piece is based on the short story "Funes the Memorious" by my longtime idol,  argentinian writer J L Borges.

Stay tuned for more stuff and thanks so much to all for your support!!!!

Esta es parte de una serie de imágenes que he estado haciendo durante los últimos meses; tal vez haga algunos pequeños cambios pero en general está lista. Basada en el cuento Funes el Memorioso, de mi gran ídolo, el escritor argentino J L Borges. Mas cosas pronto; Por ahora muchas gracias a todos por su apoyo!!

Corona

Ok, one more piece before I go into a large project that will demand quite some time... I had to rework a lot the figure but I managed to save a lot of the initial painting texture, which was great!

Hopefully I’ll be able to post some more pieces every now and then so stay tuned!

Sorrow Songs

This piece needs a brief introduction. In this illo I wanted to explore the word Horror. It took me a while to figure out what the word truly means to me and in the end I found myself connecting the concept to my reality, or to be more accurate, to my country’s reality. This piece was inspired by a terrifying event know as The Salado Massacre, which took place in El Salado, Colombia in February of 2000. Though it’s a complex story, I focused on one terrifying detail: during the massacre, the murderers decided to play live music with Gaitas, Tamboras and accordions, while they were slaughtering the town’s people. Years has passed by and I can’t still get my head around this event so I decided to use it as a starting point to work around the concept of Horror. This piece is not a representation; it’s more of a personal reflection, and some how a tribute to all the innocent victims that has left the nonsense, corrupted and unjustified war over my country.
