- ‹‹ Ideorealism is based on the primitive arts and popular tradition and seeks simply to carry through to the painting the essence of being human, to be the conductor of the creative moment in which the artists gives birth to his/her work, to help the observer enjoy the same pleasure by establishing a communication with the work. Here, actions such as observation and discovery lead to sensitively grasping origin of the idea, the substance of Ideorealism becoming the deciphering of the language of the idea, explained the artists. Few have an idea of the daily life of each artist and the truth is that intellectual preparation is an important factor in an artistic career because that is where an idea comes to life. After the painting, comes
the presentation before the public in an exposition and the next cerebral moment. The ideorealists describe that in order that this last action (exhibition) not be a false one, one must leave the observer alone with the work, establishing thus a communication between himself and the painting. Individual esthetic enjoyment, interaction with the work, being carried away by the images, the movement and even the music that can exist in a painting are inevitable outcomes that arise when a true connection is formed. As a new movement, Ideorealism brings with it the substance of creation, an important part and obviously the most appreciated one in the exposition, the primary material, the works themselves. However, often ignored is another part, the internal glimpse that comes from having a personal contact with the work.››

- ‹‹...¿En qué consiste esta búsqueda en el ideorrealismo? "En salir a buscar la flor (un decir) guiados por su propio estado de ánimo (eso elige, altera o cumple un sueño). Procurando, de paso, que luego entone bien en la penumbra hospitalaria de ese rincón en que nos refugiamos a diario. Allí podrá ser símbolo apacible de la fragilidad de cada instante; pero, ante todo, presencia fiel y grata compañía de todo aquello, animales, figuras humanas, desnudos estilizados, que eligieron para recrearlo y recrearnos, a los espectadores de sus obras, para saberlo mejor". Cuando veo la obra de estos jóvenes artistas (Ivo 42 años y Jannig 34) pienso en Henri Matisse, amante de teoremas y, sobre todo, de aquella naturalidad obstinada que se mantuvo a flote, a contracorriente, desde las pinceladas líquidas de sus primeros cuadros a los escuetos recortables del final de su vida.››

- ‹‹ Creations always in the search of the perfection of the line, where light and shadows come out of the darkness like the chaos that one sees in nature…››
Mexico. Azucena ROCHIN, El Imparcial, 23th november 2000


- ‹‹ The correct dimension of strokes, in quick lines - some of intense color - give an idea of the mental preparation of the painters in making a canvas with a great pictorial cleanness. Brought to Hermosillo by the French Alliance, the paintings go back to times where the elementary was the essential thing in art. Some characteristics of western culture and plain graphics are mixed in a modern conceptual framework yet they show something of the primitive in the painting. ››
