About The Artwork
Joaquin was inspired by an experience with his father when they went on a long trip in a van to discover the sights and coastal regions of India. It was already getting dark when they reached a beach in the north-west of India. After finding accommodation, Joaquin and his father decided to take an evening stroll along the beach. His father had a strange habit of always carrying one or more flashlights with him. Joaquin could only explain the reason for this by the fact that his father had grown up in the post-war period, when flashlights were something very special. His father also had a flashlight with him that evening, which was good, because this beach was very wide and there were no lamps to guide him. Although the sky was very clear and the stars shone very brightly, it was only possible to see far into the distance with the flashlight. Suddenly they noticed something about 20 meters in front of them. It appeared to be an animal lying on the beach but not moving from the spot. Joaquin and his father carefully approached the animal. With the help of the flashlight, they quickly realized that it was a pink pelican that had become entangled in parts of a fishing net and was unable to move. The pelican was in good condition, considering the circumstances. It probably hadn't been long since it had become entangled in the net. Joaquin and his father carefully rescued the pelican from the fishing net. Surprisingly, the pelican put up with this; it seemed as if it sensed that the two of them wanted to help him. After a short time, they had freed him. Instead of flying off immediately, the pelican stayed with them. Joaquin and his father sat down on the ground and everyone looked at each other. After a few minutes, the pelican made a few sounds as if to thank them. Then it flew away. Inspired by this event and in memory of his loving father, Joaquin painted the painting in 2020 and gave it the title: " THE RESCUE OF THE PINK PELICAN "

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.
