I first encountered Vamona’s works at the Art Gallery of Fontainhas based Fundacao Oriente.

His
bold strokes and original hues mesmerized the young artist in me. I still recount the overwhelming
and unique blue in his work enveloping entire gallery. Typical mundane fishing trawlers rubbing sides
against the vast sky on top and sea below accentuated the rhythm and beauty of the docked vessels.

Simple and humble, Vamona attitude towards life is reflected in his works. Sharps strokes speak of
the struggle he went through during the course of his education in Portugal and beyond that. And
the lyrical continuous lines, for which he is famous for, brings forth his attitude of taking life as it
comes. That is going with the flow.

The energy he display at this age exhibits his passion and commitment towards art.

Having been a part of making his presence known to the Goan art lovers, I feel honoured to be loved
and blessed by him all along.

This transnational artist is an asset that deserves far greater recognition and commendations.
