"The work of GF stands out for its very linked to the world of comics and illustration, for his impeccable mastery of drawing new aesthetic. With much of surrealism, dreamlike and fantasy, very worked recreates images seem lost in time, in space, to reach out and accept it all, as the Aleph Borges found in the cellar stairs. Mix color, ink and graphite, creating both formal contrasts of great wealth, compositional, and expressive, going into worlds where women reign anonymous featureless faces and naked torsos, which transmit feelings of loneliness and the ephemeral nature of existence.
