Ezio Farinelli - Don Quixote

The work is inspired by the character Don Quixote de la Mancha, created by Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes in the early 17th century. The character of Don Quixote, a central figure in world literature, representing an ideal to be pursued, has inspired many artists. Pablo Picasso, for example, dedicated a series of engravings to Don Quixote, celebrating one of the most important figures in his nation's literature.

The prevailing style in Ezio Farinelli's work is expressed through concrete figurative art that dissolves into a refined synthesis of color. In this case, however, the subject achieves its own autonomy, developing with a mechanomorphic aesthetic, according to complex principles of abstraction. The armor breaks down into geometric figures and expands its forms in a non-unique space that owes much to Cubism. The composition is extremely dynamic, its diagonals all striving to highlight the movement of the equestrian figure.

Ezio Farinelli was born in 1937. He began his painting career in Rome in the 1960s. Initially, his artistic language drew on Impressionism and then the Expressionist avant-garde. Then, in the 1970s and 1980s, he moved decisively toward a more classical style drawing on the Renaissance tradition. This painter's most recurring themes are the Roman suburbs, female figures set in abstract, dreamy landscapes, and Don Quixote. Ezio Farinelli has been featured in important group exhibitions alongside Brindisi, Guttuso, Annigoni, Maccari, Levi, De Chirico, Sironi, Boccioni, Cagli, Campigli, Sassu, and others.
