“The elemental outline of a house, the trace of a flower in memory, the schematic profile of a tree, the trail of a horizon... in Hernàndez-Pijuan these become rhythms that articulate a fertile dialogue in constant renewal [...] a world close to the root, the origin. Where emotional tremulousness and intuitive registering of the gaze are the keys that translate reality, as [...] in the Constructive Universalism of Torres-Garcia, into an inventory of graphic signs. By means of simple and elementary emblems of the origin.”

Antón Patiño, “Latido germinal de Joan Hernández Pijuán”, 2001
