This is one of the most famous works of the Italian Baroque master Tiziano Vecellio. Sisyphus, king of Corinth, climbs the mountain carrying a rock in fulfillment of his eternal punishment imposed by Pluto, god of hell. The Monarch had deceived the gods many times taking advantage of their cunning, even escaping Death itself. Pluto, as a precaution to avoid his escape once dead, forced him to carry a rock to the top of a mountain that eternally fell shortly before reaching his destination. This large work (237 x 216 cm) together with Titius, Tantalus and Ixion formed the group known as the Condemned or Furies, commissioned in 1548 by Carlos I, king of Spain and emperor of Europe to the master Titian Vecellio. The literary source of the Furies are Ovid's Metamorphoses (IV, 447-64) and Virgil's Aeneid (VI, 457-58). I can only add that it is a work of art that has amazed and admired me from the first time I saw it.

Spain
I am an artist and designer. I grew up in Alcobendas and settled in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, in 2003, where I currently reside. From a very young age I developed an enormous interest in history, art history and analog photography, which led me to study Fine Arts, focusing on the world of restoration, thinking about the masters of the Italian Renaissance and the Spanish Baroque. Although finally the absence of creativity in this field of work and study led me to another path. I worked for a time as a copyist at the Prado Museum to study how to paint my favorite classics, and then I devoted myself exclusively to everything that caught my attention both in terms of subjects and techniques (engraving, woodcut, inks on greasy paper, mural painting, egg tempera, polymeric putties with marble dust, etc.) I work as an illustrator in various specialized magazines, as a web designer, creating storyboards for film and television. I went through several multidisciplinary artistic formations, the last one being "Make Make Creative Process". During the study with this artistic training, focused on the synaesthetic process and creativity, I find a line to develop (Prometheu error: conjunction of body, movement, music and space) in which I am currently immersed.
