‘I stop in these autumn days, escorted by the lightness of the Covid-19 – apparently in stealth retreat -, to the Carlos García album / catalog (Editorial Talento Arte Visual, 2008) made up of more than 200 reproductions of pictorial pieces: codes in dialogue with radiation: exhilarated tints that border on azoro: outlines of sinking mirage: night transfigured into suns of shadows. García de la Nuez’s painting is subscribed in consonant primers: reminiscence floating in spirited circularity; dreaming dancing in sinuosities of desire. Orchard that pronounces the shortcut: orchard that adjoins the pause tree: truce in the preambles of the harvest.” – Carlos Olivares Baró
