YOUR WORK IS IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD, INCLUDING BUT NOT STRESS: ITALY, CANADA, CUBA, SPAIN, MEXICO, USA, among others. VALUATION criticism of his work: the color of dreams In dreams and in the work of this artist prevails a broken line, which shows the instability of our world, a world that is turbulent and unsafe dams, which haunts us in our space dreamlike at all times of life. Another recurring element in his pictorial, is the mask. Umberto Eco writes mask that hides before, reveals, therefore, the action shows that we are subjected to two-faced, either as players or spectators. Who is not using mask, I ask. Leitmotiv also raised hands in the author's work, calling for the lights or the shadows, an open flame or by the moon, almost no matter what they claim. An outstretched hand always ask something. Toranzo play with the colors of his dreams and ours, and whether ocher or very bright, travs appreciate a transparent atmosphere of ensoacinque also permeates the artist on his canvases. Quhay behind the mask? Qudetrs of dreams? Qudetrs the artist? A closer look, well behind the eyes, much more to ATRS the dreams and the bloody wake, or can be? response. Ms. Carmen Hernandez Pea January 6, 2005. Or straight edge? Pass through a space of dreams and recollections, weaving an invisible swarm of strings between the more subtle and delusional, projected on the side to leave rough, dry and it becomes real, a current mode, the relationship No world society may be a mobile evident in the present work. The proposed pictorial of barbarians MOBILE Toranzo is rich in figurative, which are combined in function to establish or manipulate reality. Broken up and suggested as its concept, in and out, in function of the drawing helper palettes that use the gentle darkness of the cuttlefish, browns and blues. The handling of discrete light never goes to light a festive atmosphere and little of meditation. In this way the color is a support function of the criterion psicolgico in technician-conceptual work. It is gratifying to see and recognize this time how artists construct altars of creativity and experimentation on two-dimensional format, which is eloquently presented the importance of the existence in the table, and as a great work, appreciate it. Or straight edge? F. Nelson Gmez Madero. (Artist of the plastic, Graduate Academy San Alejandro, Cuba) 11 February 2005
