"JAZZY NIGHTS: The Night in the Jazz Club" Painting

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.
