Poster - The Lone Quixote

When I set out to paint "The Lone Quixote," my goal was to infuse new energy into Cervantes' timeless narrative. I aimed to capture the essence of Don Quixote through a modern, expressionist style that profoundly inspired me. I chose intense, fiery colors that seem to leap off the canvas, intending to reflect the passion and drive behind Quixote's legendary quests. By including pumpjacks in the background, I highlighted the tension between nature and industry. The cowboy and the longhorn, symbols of tradition, coexist alongside modern machinery, alluding to the complexities of progress. To me, "The Lone Quixote" serves as a commentary on our ever-evolving sense of identity, where tradition and innovation coexist in an ongoing dance.
