The inspiration for this work came from the kind memories of Joaquin's early art teacher, Mrs. Franz, who taught him in the 10th grade. She was so taken with the work he produced in art class that she refused to give him his artworks back. She justified this by saying that she wanted to show his work to other students as an example and would only give him back his own works once he had completed his high school exams. Joaquin would have agreed to this, but as Joaquin was always short of money and did not have enough to buy presents for occasions such as birthdays and Christmas, he needed his works for precisely this purpose. The whole situation escalated when Joaquin gained access to the school's art room just before Christmas to get his self-painted artworks from the art room back into his ownership, to use some of them as Christmas presents for his loved ones. When the whole matter was later brought to the attention of the school principal, everyone was confused. In the end, Joaquin was not to blame. In order to come to a quick solution and end this bizarre spectacle as quickly as possible, the following was decided: Joaquin was to agree that the paintings he had painted in class could be used as examples for other students until he graduated from high school. These works would only be returned to him once he had finished school. In return, he was given a key to the art room, where he was given access and free materials at all times so that he could create artworks as gifts for birthdays and other occasions. Joaquin agreed to this. Joaquin also had to apologize to his teacher and bring her a bouquet of flowers. This was the inspiration for the work entitled: " FLOWERS FOR FRAU FRANZ - Thief of His Own Paintings "

Joaquin De Mondo's art reveals a tension resulting from rational doubt, which for him follows from the inadequacies of modernism and the recognizable inapplicability of conservative views. His doubt is the origin of his striving for clear artistic statements - sometimes overly concrete, sometimes mysteriously abstract - executed with strong colours and evident dynamism in form and lines, but sometimes in a different way: in disciplined geometric compositions. Joaquin De Mondo's active and creative power and his seriousness in dealing with current issues of nature and culture lead to a variety of interesting and meaningful representations and compositions in his oeuvre, which reflect his feelings on a surprising level. His works are captivating analyses of existence and will, his contemplations, ideas and dreams. Joaquin De Mondo works conscientiously and at a remarkable standard. Interesting about his more recent works is the powerful stillness, the use of strong colours, an unusual relief-like structural technique, striking colour transitions, with an astonishing harmonic dynamic, which leads directly to the motto of his ambitions: A primal direct force that communicates itself to the viewer at first glance and holds him captive.
