"?" STUDIES FOR DON QUIXOTE, 2016. Cuero y oro sobre madera. 61 x 37.8 cm c/u What is the clown holding with his dark Moorish hand?  A bouquet of flowers that emanate perfume?  a Mirror that holds the reflection of two eyes - one green one magenta, wearing orange glasses (the glasses needed to read the book of madness) with a white face and nose and a red mouth enclosed in a yellow border?  And the yellow border line is a question mark.  The great question "?"  WHY?????  The clown is only seen in the reflection of the mirror.  Black hand, white face.  His hat and cuff has bells that echo the marbles/orbs/planet/balloons.  And the lower third a landscape of dry and wet Spain. Two giant Balloon/Marbles are eyes.  They wear orange glasses.  There is a great hook nose in the center with a dark big round nostril.  Men fall from the balloon as tears from the eyes.  In the center is a reflection of a face.  This one dark and black.  It is turned sideways two eyes wearing orange glasses.  The clown collar is a burst of yellow sunlight.  Spanish sun.  A hand comes from the bottom with an orange arm and pink and green fingers outlined in white.  This hand holds a blue string on a purple balloon.  The blue string is a question mark.  The eternal WHY??????  Por que?????  The hand’s white outline also forms the shape of a grey face in profile.  The nose, the mouth, the beige ear on the far left, the eye, the green eyebrow.  The naming: HAMMER 16.  The grey face wheres a brown hat.  It is a conquistador’s helmet with a visor that raises up and down.   For me, one of the most interesting things about Don Quixote is not only the madness from reading but the way that he "sees" things the wrong way.  He sees literally with "creative metamorphosis".  He SEES monsters when there is a windmill.  He SEES a battle helmet when there is only a barber’s bowl.  Do you understand?  This is exactly what I am playing with in these works.  You can see one thing and it can also be another thing.  It is his visual madness which drives him.  To me it is irrelevant which work goes on the left or the right.  They are interchangeable.
