“These is but samples of Fernando Modesto’s perplexing paintings. To approach them is to empty oneself into new worlds, and worlds within worlds. The experience of wonder and fascination we get is really the shock of recognition.” Quintessential Style by Talitha Espiritu – BusinessWorld, November 19, 1992
