Sarmento was known for paintings with impasto application of paint, for paint worked in layers that was left out or removed where the pictorial elements drawn with pencil or charcoal were left or subsequently applied to the painting. Representations on paper that were glued together also became part of the picture.

“Sarmento tries to take into account all aspects of conscious and unconscious thinking and feeling. The human ability to think in pictures and to combine emotions with pictures is reflected in a special visual language. The area of ​​perception through the senses is implemented in its expressive use of the color material. But Sarmento also knows about the limits that you keep coming up against. "

- Bettina Pauly

The most famous motif in Julião Sarmento's work is a woman in a black dress, a body without a head, which appears in fragments on the paintings and was also exhibited as a three-dimensional, life-size sculpture in all kinds of poses.
