This work is the result of a composition of an acrylic painting on canvas and an acrylic painting on a board of synthetic material, with this board being glued to the canvas. In addition to acrylic, charcoal of various colors and other materials were used. This work is the result of a composition that followed a spirit of improvisation and “pathos”, which may explain why an expressionist aspect is evident – ​​it even resulted from some aggressiveness. But that doesn't mean it's an arbitrary result. More than the whims of a hand that composes and paints abstract, this work has concrete reasons for the moral concerns of a creator who, for some time, was with these personal concerns, a spirit in dialogue with Manichaeism, and felt as if he were Manichean, the problematic aspect of his existence or his place in a world of antagonistic, often contradictory poles, and where he among them survives with the awareness that he both inexorably participates in the virtuous nature and the vicious nature of those realities of which he admits to being part, but where, perhaps because he is aware of it, he feels the anxiety like someone who does not believe, as a matter of faith, in the incompatibility of their natures, and in the remedy to resolve what seems to be the mistake of existing materially, in existing ascetically, working solely in elevating the spirit.

DeVonmeert is a self-taught Portuguese artist. Despite not having had higher artistic training, he was always interested in the arts in general, in the history of art and in the lives of the great art masters. He is also very interested in the philosophy of art and aesthetics, and his higher education consisted of a Philosophy course. This interest appears reflected in his works in the way he reconciles an idea or a narrative with the artistic techniques he uses to harmonize theory and practice. His interest in the abstract is no less than his interest in the concrete and the inspiring beauty of the most banal things in everyday life and in the world, which is why his work is diverse.
