"Beyond the Conventional"

By Helen A. Harrison, The New York Times, Sunday, August 14, 1989.

"The figures populating the fantasy worlds of Felix Berroa are also generic in nature. His cast of characters includes puppets, dancers and clowns engaged in intrincate tableaux based on themes of entrapment and longing for release. Hanging together for protection, they yearn for trascendence but often appear incapable of achieving it.

The idea of escape to a simpler, purer state of being is expressed in "Rutura del silencio", with its three-parts composition showing urban man longing for rebirth, drreaming of humanking in an embryonic state from which it emerges toward and Adam and Eve couple who stand on a threshold, presumably of paradise. Brilliant color and stylized form are Mr. Berroa's idiom, and if his symbolism is not the most original, the emotional intensity of his paintings carries it above the commoplace." (Fragment of the complete review).
