"J-F. Arrigoni Neri, painter, etcher, illustrator and lithographer does not paint and watch himself paint, but just for him who looks on. He does not paint with a message to deliver, but to offer the very vitality of his gaze, recapturing a fleeting emotion, a human striving caught in mid air, the speedfull present moment of things past already."
Roland FLAK - Art critic
