THE GARDENS OF HUMAN THOUGHT IN JORDI AMAGAT'S PAINTINGSIn Jordi Amagat's gardens, separated but with a wish of an operative union, there grow the many different pieces of the great human social machine. The painter places his trees, his plants and the fruits Nature has to offer, as if they were sea and earth living creatures, to tell us that the order is to be found inside us and that it is up to us to make everything work as it should so that, one day, Mankind – that of yesteryears, today's and tomorrow's – may go back to the Paradise where it was expelled from. Or it might, provided Mankind believes in it strongly enough, get back to the kingdom of light where it comes from.
In Jordi Amagat's colours matter is always present. He has a great feeling for volumes and this is why we can also appreciate some of his ceramics and engravings. He is always trying to get as deeply as possible in those feelings expressing shapes while making out of them the transcendent feeling of the ideas. For these ideas are what really matter, as they allow us to attain the transcendence of the daily feats.
