Alberto Delmonte’s work is charged with meaning in spite of its austerity, or precisely on account of it. His Americanist roots, which come to him from Torres-García’s Escuela del Sur, have a powerful presence. This does not mean that his mark is not a very personal one. The signs and symbols that populate these paintings are simple, in formal terms, aside from their density. They correspond to a structural synthesis that is characteristic of modern art. To a certain extent, their austerity is also a conceptual result of sorts.

In this way, an encounter occurs between the archaic American world, with its formal and spiritual essences, and the aesthetic model of modernity. Once again, their ties and affinities are highlighted, through the original matrix that this artist—at the height of his career—has managed to give them.

The inheritance received and renovated from Universal Constructivism—full of spirituality and completely current, bearing a personal mark that is no less powerful, its mutations showing it to be alive and dynamic—is very present in this artist’s creations.”
