With notes on Jordi Alcaraz by Mariano Navarro in Spanish, English, German and Italian. "Tradition and history, intermingled materials that incorporate certain contemporary technical possibilities for the composition of drawing, paintings, objects, sculptures and scenography, that result in an extraordinary metaphor of the practice of art and in the combination of what the artistic fact creates, implies and develops, either on a revolutionary basis or not, in the artist, as well as the structuring of a system of visual writing, that includes the shape within the concept, this is, I believe, a very objective description of the creations of this Catalonian artist, especially f the works created since the last turn of the 20th Century and the ten years that have passed since then." (Mariano Navarro)

"Jordi Alcaraz takes physical space, objects, and ideas and projects them into new dimensions. He is a visual alchemist whose sensibilities expand a profound legacy." (Peter Selz)
