“Yo, o El” (2021) Pintura por Jose Luis Santamaria Campos

(First of all I must tell you that I am a lifelong defender who inhabits the earth of this wonderful planet) Now, I am going to talk to you about the work... If you look closely, you will see that the bull does't carry any flag on his loin, you will also appreciate that there is no public in the stands to celebrate anything, and you can see that the bullfighter does't have a sword in his hand to kill, he only has his cape. In others words, I have tried to represent what is never seen in a bullfight. A bull and a bullfighter, hands to hands, in a duel. No flags, no public, no sword, etc. In this hypothetical case, I almost emphasize the advantage of the bull over the bullfighter who awaits him on his knees as if he is imploring forgiveness from a 700 kg bull, that he comes ready for everything. It is just that, an interpretation in art that if we look closely we will find the motives that the artist wanted to capture in his work.


(Ante todo debo decirte que soy defensor de toda la vida que habita sobre la tierra de este maravilloso planeta) Ahora vamos a la obra... Si observas detenidamente, verás que el toro no lleva ninguna banderilla en el lomo, también podrás aprecias que no hay público en las gradas para festejar nada, y también podrás ver que el torero no posee en su mano ninguna espada de matar, si no solo su capote.. Es decir he tratado de representar lo que nunca se ve en una corrida de toros. Un toro y un torero mano a mano en un duelo. Sin banderillas, sin público, sin espada, etc. Realzo, en este caso hipotético, casi la ventaja del toro sobre el torero que lo espera arrodillado como implorando perdón a un toro de 700 kg. que viene dispuesto a todo. Es solo eso, una interpretación en el arte que si nos fijamos bien encontraremos los motivos que el artista quiso plasmar en su obra.
