"In everything, the work of Lluis Garriga is pure instant of labor with time, energy transferred to the support. Surrealism, psychedelia... the film of forms that reveals a whole of color kneaded or meandering not to be one, but the point of convergence where everything reaches another dimension of its nature. In his work is the weight of the matter and the ephemeral, the susceptible of blowing to be changeable and never stop. Sometimes, the artist acts on the support as an extension of himself, even perceiving such an extreme. In this way, his way, he builds a kind of accumulated bodies. Bodies without defined form, but matter of body in its modulations that the color turns into an endless chaining. Chained works, one after the other of links defined in the plurality of one's own becoming, of one's own being, of one's own person, of one's own existence that cannot but be multiple in order to be one. In each and every one of them is Lluis Garriga. In the multiplication, in the mystery of the eternal movement to reveal that the best way to keep all the mystery of the world is precisely in the absolute transparency" (Juan Antonio Tinte, Professor Complutense University).
