At 2013, Pedro Celedón, professor of Universidad Católica de Santiago, writes the presentation of his exposition Entre-vista a una Luna Llena, at  Universidad de Talca, Santiago de Chile:
“ ….  These are canvases on which the paint over paint was accumulated. The images that brake, destroy in one working session and redone in another. The initial composition is always discarded, intervened successively in its journey to a form that in a moment inhabits the painting. Then the fragments remain that are the signs of how the adventure started, residuals of the initial impulse coexisting with the marks of a long journey where the different has been fused generating the unit of diverse and which finishes constructing a tale that lives only inside of the reality of the artwork.”
