Dear @adncabrera,
I went to sleep.
For a work such a this, that is the proper formula. But even in more conscious, rationally oriented exercises, sleep often solves a problem for me.
I was unfamiliar with Goya's giant. I love it. It keeps drawing me back. I like the way he's looking back at us, and the way light hits his shoulders.
Of course you draw in response to such an image. That's what it's for. It's meant to provoke, to elicit a reaction. It's not a dead thing--it lives through the audience. Your image is evocative, also. I imagine your dreams may have been unsettled that night.
Interesting, as always.
Regards and affection,
AG
The giant is a spectacular print. Goya has always been one of my favorite tormented. Everything about him moves me and, as you can see in this print, the eyes of his characters look out at the viewer with everything.
I almost never remember what I dream (maybe that's why I love listening to people tell their dreams), but I'm sure that many of the images that visit me during the day have been fabricated while I was asleep.
Now that work takes up most of my time, I really miss the spaces that allowed me to wander through those images, even when many of them are dark. Nightmares are a demanding realm. Goya knows this.
A hug, my dear @agmoore
