On Francisco Rocca's painting:
Francisco Rocca was not only inspired by his work of the mangrove theme, but he also realized that everything he had ever painted was facing him in front of his eyes.
All these roots buried in the water emerging in search of the light create a tangle of invasive aerial and uncontrollable lines in an unfinished natural profusion.
Ramon Cote Baraibar (extract)
For Francisco Rocca The warm colors and shapes that are sometimes realistic, sometimes fleeting, express the solitude, the sensuality and the tension of the encounter that leads to love.
This mark of sensuality is also contained in objects of everyday life, because the passion of desire seems to be the common thread of its aesthetic construction.
Norman Palme (excerpt)
... Everything takes place in a room, which is the artist's own studio (autobiographical element therefore) The painter's instruments are there, in a place at radical angles, with aerial perspectives where things move façon unusual, with sensual colors, real or virtual windows, of enormous sensory instability.
Juan Carlos Palenzuela (excerpt)
