In this work, in which text becomes yet another formal element, the Galician artist displays the iconographic variety of her compositional world, with painterly elements which appear in her work particularly in the nineties, revealing her tireless quest for new forms of expression.
In her early years Lamas was seduced by the American Expressionism she encountered on a trip to New York (1980), but her consolidation as an artist was linked to the Atlánticagroup, of which she was a member along with artists of varying tendencies but similar concerns, such as Antón Patiño (1957), Antón Lamazares (1954) and José María Freixanes (1953), participating in the renewal of the Galician art scene.

In the eighties colour was a liberating factor which allowed her to develop a language of her own, a synoptic Expressionism of great symbolic expressiveness and compositional effectiveness, an allegorical and conceptual iconography of simple forms and primary colours, treated with broad brushstrokes.

At the time when she painted this work she was beginning to experiment with text as object and figure, an approach far removed from that of artists like Barbara Kruger (1946) who uses writing to contribute meaning to the work.
