“While most of his works are based on grids from a mathematical or arithmetic progression, what stands out most about them is how they overcome these principles, offering the viewer a spatial projection activated by colour, and endless visual possibilities; hence the expressive richness present in his work”.... Ary Brizzi, 1991

 

Fermín Fevre

"... His work as a painter shows a great unity. This is because, in my view, it was centred in  search rather than in a result.
