There is a real challenge in trying to capture a past that in not your own.
In order to portray the Jorge of 18 years ago, I have only two old photographs to go by. One of them is on the main page of this blog. The added difficulty is that Jorge’s appearance has changed over the years, mainly due to serious health complications from having ingested acid in prison in protest over his treatment.
By looking intently at Jorge today I can still glimpse the young man, his cheeks hollowed by the meager rations and hunger strikes, the same button nose, the same eyes, almost slanted.
Here are the result of the sketchings I have done.
WOW – que fuerte, no se por que pero verlo dibujado…shocked me – maybe because you rarely – or at least me – I rarely saw drawings of people maimed….and he looks so young and handsome. Que dolor.
