"Fran Recacha reminds us of the European Vanguards, such as the Futurists — once they adopted the techniques of the Cubists artists, but focused of the movement instead of the static analytical works. Fran particularly loves the works of Josep de Togores, who enjoyed Realism, Surrealism and Cubism, and who has influenced him greatly. Notably is the influence and direction that Fran's pictorial world has taken. The symbolist painter Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre and his world are arguably Recacha's favorite world as well. Recacha has followed this path and eagerly delved deeply into this world of symbolism with both feet. Fran, in his own way, visualizes his work and begins to set in motion a highly symbolic work with subtle sub text just beneath the surface for those who linger just long enough in front of one of his magnificent paintings."

Gabriel Picart, Painter
