Assessment of his work

Juan Cameron finds láricos elements in his poetry, standing as the highest point of his work, and his ability to relate to the human body as the highest embodiment of freedom. Cameron stresses, in turn, the occupation of clear topics of contemporary poetry, as in the case of a chaotic gathering, describing the woman through a series of adjectives and synecdoche: Industrious / multiple / labyrinth /distinguished (...) cachurera, Captain Araya, / new women friendsand unholy, / bossy with sympathy, and so on.[14]

Alejandro Lavquén highlights the images that travel in the poems, the special eroticism of his work and the multiplicity of the issues they address.[15]

Antón Castro notes his work of publishing a new poem every day.[16]

The American academic Sonia Tejada, analyzing "Walls Watching the Sea," states the author seeks to build bridges between poetry, painting and everyday life. He emphasizes the use of water as a symbol of writing and life throughout his poems. The poet says the physical and symbolic process water, become a kind of aesthetic fertilization, in which the walls are acquitted of inertia. Art transforms the walls to capture the soul of these images. In this way, the spirit triumphs over the material in establishing a dialogue with the works of other artists.[17]
