Item Details

Jordi Samsó’s dynamic oil on canvas, El Quixot, channels the restless spirit of Cervantes’ legendary knight through an abstract, expressionist lens. In this energetic composition, sweeping arcs of cobalt and slate grey intermingle with flashes of ochre, crimson, and verdant green, evoking both the tumult of battle and the surreal realm of the imagination. The forms, at once suggestive of figures and mechanical shapes, dissolve into gestural strokes, imbuing the work with movement and emotional intensity. Samsó’s deft brushwork and layered textures create a charged atmosphere, balancing chaos with deliberate structure. Painted in 1990, the piece reflects the artist’s mature synthesis of abstract figuration and symbolic narrative, a hallmark of his oeuvre since the 1950s. Its tonal contrasts and interplay of light and shadow invite prolonged contemplation, while the bold palette offers a statement presence in any setting.
