ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The inspiration for this work came after an excessive party, after the artist Joaquin woke up disoriented on a beach in Spain. He does not know the exact time, as he woke up to find that he had apparently lost his precious gold watch. He would have liked to lie in the sand for a while, but as he was very thirsty, he set off to find something to quench his thirst. After about half an hour's walk, he discovered a beach bar called "Blue Locust" (or something like that), which wasn't officially open yet, but some of the staff were busy cleaning up from the previous evening. They were kind enough to provide Joaquin with the drinks he needed. After refreshing himself, he asked the friendly owner of the bar, "Miguel-Pablo", to show him the way home and arrived safely at his residence a few hours later. This experience and the hospitality of the bar owner prompted Joaquin to paint this painting in 2020 and give it the following name: " THE THIRSTY ARTIST: The Blue Locust Bar "

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.
