When Emilio proposed me these portraits,
I thought as a painter that
in one way or another
I would immortalize the protagonist.
There he is, here he is,
we are rebuilding the man again, aren’t we.
He is there again, he´s there again, you know?
There he was again, Jesús Franco.
Reliving,
as one of those terror myths that fill his films.
Jesús is a legendary being,
capable of superhuman wonders,
a strange inhabitant from the underworld
whose existence is doubtable for some people.
In Jess’ own words:
“A monster that doesn’t exist”.
