Satanic

The Depths of Contemplation: An overview of this series of pieces created between 1998 and 2004.

“Tornado”, Acrylic, 2004, 200×180.

In the ‘Satanic’ series, Delmeire plunges into the more abstract, the dark recesses of the soul, where the thirst for power and the inevitable judgement of actions reside. The series is a bold exploration of religious sentiment, power, and the consequences of human ambition. The stark contrasts of dark, red, and yellow in these paintings reflect the tumultuous period of Delmeire’s fall from grace and his subsequent time of penance. They represent the deep-rooted belief in accountability and the redemption that follows, a stark reminder of his own confrontation with justice.

The abstract forms and vivid colors that dominate the ‘Satanic’ series are evocative of the internal struggle Delmeire faced during his incarceration—a time when he was compelled to confront his life choices and their ramifications. These pieces serve not only as a personal catharsis but also as a universal mirror reflecting the innate human conflict between the divine and the base, the sacred and the profane.

This series, therefore, is not just an artistic endeavor but a spiritual inquiry, one that challenges the viewer to reflect on their own beliefs and the moral compass that guides them. Just as Delmeire emerged from his darkest hours with a renewed dedication to spiritual and artistic growth, the ‘Satanic’ series stands as a testament to the transformative power of facing one’s demons and the light that can be found in even the darkest of trials.
