Medieval Story
2009
Acrylic on paper, 50 x 70 cm
This painting was inspired by my keen interest on medieval manuscripts and their illustrations. Apart from their visual beauty, i find fascinating the resemblance betweeen comics and these illustrations as they both try to tell a story with visual means.
Here, i try to tell a story also. A story with a more or less clear political message. And this medieval aesthetic
I used acrylics as the painting has many small details that would demand great amount of time if I used oil colors. However I must admit that I'm not fully satisfied with the blue color of my skies.
