The Les Santes Commission revealed the work by Joe Dart (born in Mataró, 1966), which depicts the preparation of the fireworks display at the breakwater. The piece highlights the traditional phrase Glòria a Les Santes under the bright noon sun of July 27th.
“"We are at the beach, at the zenith of the day. A moment of rest during the festivities, at noon. The phrase Glòria a Les Santes stands out on the breakwater."
The painting includes local details such as a beachgoer wearing the Ball de Diables de Mataró jacket, designed by the late artist Joan Hortós. Joe Dart, who studied under José Luis Guerín and Antonio López García, connects this work to his childhood memories in the Cerdanyola neighborhood.
