Las imágenes de Aurelio Grisanty pertenecen al mundo de los sueños. La imagen como sustancia incorpórea y etérea que se diluye o se desdobla, traslapándose sobre sí misma y sobre otras imágenes sorpresivas y cada vez más conspicuas, elusivas, que escapan de sí y reconstruyen, a su medida, el mundo en intrincados calidoscopios visuales.
En este pintor dominicano, quien reside desde hace décadas en Washington, la búsqueda de la belleza es intencional. Como un encantador de serpientes, Aurelio Grisanty logra que la fascinación envuelva al espectador en los deleites de la contemplación de sus intrincados arabescos visuales. - Fernando Ureña Rib.
