DON-QUIXOTE-GAME-600

Don Quixote | The Video Game.

Digital illustration on canvas.

24×36”. 2015

The piece is a result of literary analysis combined with retrograde graphic technology. Using Photoshop and Illustrator, the artist created a vision of what the novel could have resembled had it been filtered through early CPUs and finite screen resolution. The illustration shines as a playful retelling of the idealistic story elements found both in heroic retro video games and the timeless novel that parodied them.
