Mestre creates, then, based on architectural forms, disconcerting works with a chameleonic appearance that become spatial constellations by merely looking at them. And so, he takes us from an apparently static world —from lived-in constructions, from the measurements and proportions of frankly exemplary architectural works— to the cubic density and monumentality of his creations.

Imagined spaces of an impossible architectonic reality, constructed with walls whose naked surfaces don’t present remnants of any decorative element telling of a possible past or future functionality. Works which seduce and touch us by their original focus and evocative power. Only articulated walls, or parts thereof, with textures of an unknown function, even though they might present subtle abstract formal qualities, which suggest, if anything, the passing of time.

In addition to that world of forms and volumes, represented in his imaginary architectures, we must also point out the emergence of an expressed world loaded with mystery and silence, tied to the very interplay of spaces: here we find the doorways, passageway, stairways, bends, angles and walls, as if they were waiting for us, immutable.
