- BILL DREW "As I paint, draw, build textures, revise, repaint and refine, the individual forms, geometries and colors erode until the painting achieves a state of flux where each individual painting dissolves into another. The surface forms a skin that reveals a history of its own making and in that way serves as a record of my thoughts and feelings as they progress through time. In that sense, what the paintings are about and how they came about are one and the same."Painting by Bill DrewCIRIA In regards to Ciria’s work, the influential American critic Donald Kuspit has said, “I would venture to say that José Manuel Ciria is a great painter. And by that I mean that he’s got complete command of his medium and his tools; paint and both the gestural and the geometric vocabulary of modernist abstraction… We can clearly see a strong element of fantasy in Ciria’s paintings, as his figures show. Perhaps he could be called an abstract illusionist, in the sense that he creates fantastic figures out of abstract elements, which are usually gestural planes that appear to be in constant movement that thus suggest a figure in the midst of a metaphoric process." Throughout his professional career Ciria has also been awarded numerous prizes and international recognitionPaintings By Ciria
