In this painting Luis Feito abandoned himself to the intensity of the gesture, to automatism, working without any prior determination, without preparatory drawings and sketches. Always reluctant to find interpretations to his paintings, he conceived art as an emotional and meditative form of creation.

In the 1970s, the influence of painting grounded in matter became an essential feature of his work, with his compositions tending towards greater simplification, dominated by the circle, possibly borrowed from Japanese art.
