Delamonica's massive canvases resemble detailed jigsaw puzzles layered with rich textures, intricate details, and soft, luminous tones.

Didier Delamonica, carries us joyfully and playfully through a myriad of stories inspired from legends, myths, tales and biblical accounts.

His huge paintings are reminiscent of lavish jigsaw puzzles, with their intricate detail, archetypes, characters and animals from diverse pictorial traditions.

We listen with joy to the celestial music and rhythms emerging from the artist‘s pictorial fantasy.
