Eduardo, an amazing artist, truly gifted and talented. Observing his paintings is like discovering and rediscovering everything that is fresh and new in how things and ideas can be seen and communicated through expression of sensory experience.
One may speak of arrangement, of colour and composition, one may use the usual metaphors and symbolism to describe the art of this amazing man. But for me I choose to observe his works beyond modifiers and convenient language. I choose to augment my observation with allowing myself to also be swept along the experience of art as integration into and of the self into his visual poetry.
They say that paintings are the mute art, but I say in the case of Eduardo’s works his paintings are far from mute, all you have to do is listen, and the whisper you hear is the music that comes from the hand of one of the gentlest souls to grace canvas with the loving caress of a brush or pallette knife.
