I'll never get tired reading your deep-megaintelligent comment's on other's people art,I see in your statement's strokes of Moravia-Cortazar-Che-Cardenal just to name a few,I really,really like it and I hope you don't take as ironic...Adolfo,sincerely at your service

I am deeply honored by your sentiments and respect. I truly believe that serious discourse is the only way to truly enlighten and solve problems. Action without a proper mindset is wasted, but also a brilliant thought unexecuted is a worse crime.
fortinero Replied: August 30, 2010
I need to seat and take a long moment to analize the two sentence you just mention,but I tell you right now,both are brilliant...and i still enjoy it your versatile and fluent way to said 'la metafora'..veramente...perliamo presto,grazie.

christineheidel  Posted: April 07, 2010
wonderful work. i enjoy the way you use texture in your pieces.
fotioszemenides Replied: April 07, 2010
Thank you, my attempt to create texture because one never really sees the work the same way as light and angle of approach presents diffrent dimensions and forms out of the textures.

I very much enjoy the feel of your work, it brings to light parts of a city that are many times overlooked. There are just as profound moments in the American urban landscape as there are in old European ones!

Thank you. It is always difficult to gauge how people will react to my work as it is steep with personal narative, cultural undertones and political commentary.
skidone  Posted: February 05, 2010
nice originality! and I love the color tones of your art -- My art is hand drawn pencil / ink on bristol pretty large 19" x 24" or bigger, i then scan it in and use digital paintbrushes in Photoshop, - I also do acrylic on wood and canvas for restaurants and such...
