Francisco Goya (1746-1828)
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His paintings, drawings, and engravings reflected contemporary historical upheavals and influenced important 19th- and 20th-century painters.
Hi, my name is David Castillo and I am in my fourth year at NJCU. I'm currently studying music performance with my main instrument being a classical guitar. The piece of art that I chose was Goya's "El Sueno de la Razon Produce Monstruos". I chose this piece of art because it depicts how when reason sleeps, the imagination produces monsters resulting in madness. Other than me being a fanatic of dark and bleak artwork, I feel a strong connection to the artwork. I heavily look inward when it comes to thoughts and how the overwhelming of troubling thoughts can create immense sickness in a person. Just how Goya's artwork is filled with symbolism with all its animals, I've done the same with having dark art being printed on my body.
