... "I inconditionallity trust Lizar's art. My trust was confirmed by observing the artist apply the brush on the canvas, seeing the brush flowing fluidly, with no oscilation, with inner life, with all the wisdom of the unconscious, with no need of consulting the conscious mind.
It seems the brush itself knows what to do, being Lizar a mere medium of the act of creation. "
Emílio Miguel Abella

..." His creations are poems of color, fluidly and motion. The lines and shapes evoke multiple and fast rhythms. Parallel movements emerge in analogous shades and shapes that repeat themselves whilst other conflicts create colors and directions that contrast themselves. "
