"...Yunizar does not appear to want to build a narrative of symbolic forms so as to communicate his view and experience of life and the world. He is not plotting to build a sign system to communicate an unambiguous message and meaning. Instead, he merely wants to share feelings and emotions; to welcome us to feel the clamors of the world and the ever moving, impulsive and creative life force. His paintings offer a space where we can feel these emotions. It seems to me that Yunizar is simply occupied by his need to transmute forms and figures, to smelt and shatter them; and to change texts not into meaning, but into textures."
