"We are seduced, enticed into viewing 'Universe', a monumental work in blues, aquamarine, charcoal, sleet, black, ultramarine, amethyst, and too many other colors to enumerate them all. The overriding palette is blue. Very blue. The entire visual panorama is flecked with silver and gold leaf and drips with resinous gloss, applied irreverently and casually so that it leads one to think that the whole universe is coated in cosmic tears. The celestial beings weep, covering our universe."
"It is The Ebb and Flow of things, events, and circumstances. The yin and yang of energies, the cosmic dance. In this framework, Red October #17 is the vibrant, warm, positive antidote in Padal Works.(And Padal works. Hard. It shows.)"
"Yuri Padal's large abstract impressionist works are just that: a retinal feast" Huntress Thompson – The Republic
