This is a fragment of the good criticism offered by one of the great critics of art to the painter:

"Talking about Garci's painting is always gratifying but even more so when you have the opportunity to see it.

Then it is when one really feels close to the author and can even enter into their own feelings, given the transparency with which the work unfolds,

Being thankful."

 

José Luis Marchante Araque, Art Critic.
