Le sue 'tessiture' […] sono a un tempo ricettacoli spaziali e radar luminosi e riescono, nella loro continuità tissutale, a proporre il senso dell'infinito e quello del conchiuso: l'infinito di una trama che si ripete eguale a se stessa […] e il concluso d'un margine netto che isola la superficie dipinta e la rende fine a se stessa. Sono, dunque, opere di autentica pittura, dove la 'pulizia' dell'esecuzione non pregiudica mai l'unicità della resa; dove l'irreperibilità dell'elemento 'poetico' si sposa con il rigore del raggiunto risultato pittorico.
His 'textures' […] are simultaneously spatial receptacles and luminous radars, and succeed, in their textural continuity, in projecting a sense of the infinite and of the finite: the infinite in the pattern that repeats itself ad infinitum […] and the finite in the divisive border that isolates the painted surface and renders it an end in itself. They are therefore works of authentic painting where the 'polish' of the execution never impairs the uniqueness of the rendering, where the elusiveness of the 'poetic' element is combined with the rigour of the obtained pictorial result.

Supporto e superficie pittorica in buone condizioni, l'opera non è rintelata. Leggerissime tracce di sporco, aloni di colla, e puntiformi cadute di colore. Leggere abrasioni superficiali in corrispondenza degli angoli. Esaminata alla luce ultravioletta, sono visibili dei piccoli punti di restauro, specialmente lungo i margini. Tenuto conto di quanto sopra, è nostra opinione che l'opera sia in condizioni di conservazione molto buone.
Support and paint film in good condition, the work is not lined. Very light superficial accretion, glue halos and pinpoint paint losses in places. Light superficial abrasions corresponding to the corners. When examined under ultraviolet light, some small inpaintings are visible, mostly along the edges. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good conditions.
