Viscasillas paints inspiration from the coast of Galicia, Northwest of Spain, and seascapes and country of Uk where he travel often last years. Silvana Cagnolo, gallery owner in Bologna, said in 2005: "It is a few years since I have worked with Fernando’s work. We have celebrated art exhibitions in different places in Italy and the rest of Europe, and every time I approach the spectators who observe and meditate in front of one of his painted architectures I realize they are experiencing a deep and touching emotion; I realize they are re-living the landscape of their most intimate memories. The simplicity and the energy of this artist define his works using the composition to define each individual, yet without removing the flexibility of that shape or introducing any hardness to the form and the positive energy transmitted by his ironic characterization of his subject and his several architectural styles. In his pictures everything seems coincidental and connected only by chance, together with other things, but it is not exactly true. The colours chosen are sometimes provocative, not real. He places the images without a defined focal point and without any respect for perspective; he never makes a mistake in the balance of the composition or in its complexity. Everything is developed with complete harmony."
