Regarding the importance of his pieces Ticio Escobar, the most important art critique of Paraguay, 1983, wrote: “Today it is almost common to say that the 70’s began with some predominance of drawing and to point out that the Pindú’s exposition in Galería Miró as the beginning of this predominance…”

Livio Abramo, great engraving master, points out: “...Pindú is one of the most capable artists in Paraguay –being a lyric writer and dramatician simultaneously-  he created architectonic structures of human symbolism transforming the la hermetic aggressiveness in his  subconscious  to a world in which his arte gives us unexpected and lyrical visions.
