| An artist should have spirit, ...a clean spirit ... Because the artist needs to have the qualities to escape from time and space whenever they harm his art. |

| E D U A R D O B O N I L L A, artist |
| Eduardo H Bonilla is an artist with spirit, a clear spirit: therefore he is able to cross over his own social and human limits in order to have more possibilities to exist, and most important: to create without any pressures or ties impossed by society and life. |
| through his works, he invites us to know him and his journey on his search in life, a search in which life is the main character of his works. |
When we look at his paintings it is possible to see in the darkness, to listen in the silence. When we look at his creations, we may create or recreate stories in unexpected scenarios. Some paintings might makes feel emotions and sensations that we probably have never felt in a long while. |
