From the essay "The Language of the Artist" (our translation): "Whoever stands before the painting of Alejandro Otero for the first time, a harmonious synthesis of the creative effort of a man in a permanent attitude of alertness, gesture and look at the pulse of the subterranean currents that move history, must necessarily feel involved, invaded, moved in the depths of being by something – made conscious – that immobilizes and stops him."
