'Colours in Juan Uslé’s paintings “flame” with as much beauty and intrigue as the sun with its fiery flanks ablaze with subtle red flares. Transparent and impenetrable brushes and intent, organic paint passages turn Juan Uslé’s paintings into an indivisible unit where depth and flatness continue to emphasise the material aspect of each painting. The viewer does not identify with the painting’s content; he beholds the beauty reflecting the thought of “something” other than what we all know. Juan Uslé’s painting is a pictorial blueprint of a “utopia” providing a home for beauty to nestle as a sign for the viewer to escape for a moment from the routine and banality of every day.' (Luk Lambrecht)
