Black, White & Red on Canvas
“Danny Sillada is a painter who happens to also to write verses. Using both visual and literary mediums, it is easier for him to unburden himself of some carry-over angst either existential or inconsequential… He’s familiar with “the dark night of the soul.” What anguish and rupture St. John of the Cross so fervidly put into words; here Sillada is trying to flesh out into visible image… The artist is stripping his soul naked through and through – resulting in imagery that’s crammed with symbols strong on sexuality, canvases choked with biomorphic forms and dreamlike images.”
~ Constantino Tejero, art writer/journalist
