Delamonica

"Without any doubt, Delamonica is a poet and a storyteller who claims the freedom of leading us into a universe where only his personal vision matters.

This born storyteller who translates his text into highly fanciful images rather than words nurtures his imagination on Biblical, mythological stories and on legends from other cultures. He probably adds to that a lot of himself. He cares first and foremost about the beauty and the light of his painting, and wishes to share his daydream with us.

Each theme, each story is a pretext for building a fairytale universe where the slightest detail has its own importance and is a sort of key. For the deciphering to be richer, more complete,one must move from one side of the painting to the other, find clues, admittedly, but also accept to be immersed in the narrative.

Entering into the Delamonica world without losing your bearings means returning to childhood instincts, accepting the irrational, becoming part of the dreamlike surroundings, thus leaving reality completely behind you. More important still is to know the legends of the past, the bygone tales told by the fireside, all those stories told the world over."
