CONCEPT OF THE WORK:
This picture raises the distance of loved ones as a source of bitterness.
At the level of signifiers in the work, the silhouette of the narrator of the plot appears, a troubadour who narrates through a "Copla", the deep uneasiness
that men and women, ladies and gentlemen, feel because of the distance that separates them, due to the military campaigns in the Holy Land (the Crusades) ...
Various composition studies and a detailed graphite pencil sketch were carried out, with analysis of the significant elements intervening in
the general structure of the work.
"Copla Amarga" raises the tremendous relativity of the victor-defeated psychic binomial, since even the victors in the battle feel defeated, having lost friends and comrades in the fray.

TECHNICAL REALIZATION OF THE WORK:
Technically, the work was made with a cardboard of primed art, painted in artistic easel. Later, a generic base with acrylic paints was applied.
After that, the oil painting began with the "glaze" technique. Cobalt drying was applied to speed up the drying times.
We consulted photographic documentation of armor, weapons and costumes from the Late Middle Ages. The completion of the work was very laborious, for the amount of details present.

FRAMEWORK:
The work is sold with a high quality wooden frame, very suitable to its theme and pictorial style. This frame has a protective glass ceiling that covers the entire original.
