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.

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.Walls watching the sea by Gonzalo Villar, Sonia Tejada, Notebook notes, August 10, 2012; access 21/08/2012
