Dirty Harry – A prayer to Goya ‘s nightmares

“We come from a dark abyss, we end in a dark abyss, and we call the luminous interval life. As soon as we are born the return begins, at once the setting forth and the coming back; we die in every moment.”

“Askitiki”, Nikos Kazantzakis

When I visited the Prado museum in Madrid, the sector that impressed me most was the hall with Fransisco Goya’s “Pintura Negra”. Was this work a result of the of the painter’s late years’ mental disorder as many critics mention or there was something else going on? These images are my prayer to Goya ‘s nightmares’.
