"CedeƱo reminds us that the artist's demon is the path of the angel we call Art" - Miguel Von Dangel "The codes and formal solutions that CedeƱo develops in the realization of his works are difficult and complex, they are usually hidden, underground, latent, like his symbols abruptly extracted from the obscurities of a formless mysticism" - PerƔn Erminy "For David CedeƱo each piece belongs to a gear that will give rise to a narration, to a story of philosophical, surreal or sacred hallucinations" - Zuleiva Vivas "It is not easy to work from the symbolic voice. In this sense, CedeƱo is a challenge. It is not easy to do it from helplessness, which all nakedness or interior confession entails. The process is similar to the voice of the poet who assumes his humanity, only, in the middle of the desert "- Susana Benko
