David and Goliath draws on Lorenzo Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise and a lost painting by Jusepe de Ribera, blending these sources into a dramatic reinterpretation. Pérez Mielgo embraces the Mediterranean Baroque aesthetic, emphasizing sculptural pathos and striking light over contemporary figuration. Beyond the biblical tale, the work serves as an allegory of the artist’s struggle, where individual fragility confronts overwhelming forces, transforming personal challenge into a universal message.
