Reviews for Emilio Merlina:
|
|
|
The figures populating the artist'world are slim and lengtned,knights coming from an irreal past that reminds,melancholy and beauty,Don Chisciotte of Cervantes.Althought they have helmets and swords,the knights of Merlina do not seem interested to duels,but to the travel,as unique real aim of existence.A incessant peregrination at the research of something indefinite:the serenity,a lost dream,a nightmare or a far music.To the travel's theme alternate reflections about impalpable realities and the same knights,presented before as valorous traveller,become reflective and sad,accompanied by a red violin or dominated by a big dark crove,or,after,like explorators:we can find them opening new doors on the ondiscovered worlds,trying to indagate about what is more understandable :themselves.The beauty of these operas can be noticed immediately,the brigthening colours and the figures capture the attention of the public in an anomalous dimension,where errant knights make improbable wars against windmills and they get defeated.Protagonist absolut so is the phantasy,the imagination,not only of the author,but also of whom,observing the works,can imagine a possible history.
