"About Luís Soares, what firstly comes to our mind is the versatility with which he approaches different forms of plastic expression, keeping however something identifiable as common to all of them. "

"Facing Luís Soares' work we feel the energetic echo of oceanic resonances."

"Luís Soares is a plastic poet. One could also say: Luís Soares is an authentic artist of iconographic poetry".

"Of the three structural functions of art, making - expressing - symbolising, Soares performs the first admirably. After all, he lives at a time when gestaltism, concretism and happening have made it understood that the truth that illuminates art is the fact of making it."

"Luís Soares, apart from poetry and even musical notes and voices modulating strange phrases, but full of warmth and humanism, brings us, without a shadow of a doubt, something new."

"The spectator will find in Luís Soares' work, a world full of symbolism that will allow him to go beyond the simple contemplation of an artistic work. "

"As a painter he is universal and a born experimenter. He embraces a wide variety of techniques and concepts. But while it may seem labyrinthine, his painting is characterised by presenting a basic naivety, which connects with Romanesque frescoes, African influences, American colourism and animist beliefs."

To gather in a single commentary all the shades of Luís Soares' palette would be almost impossible, and even worse to discover it anew. Even so, so that the spectator reader may be impregnated with the sensations provoked by the paintings of the Luso-Mozambican painter, nothing better than to point out his inventive riffs on the pathetic comedy of time and life, as well as the problematic of the survival of his protagonists' souls, solved by the very means of expression he uses
