Ms. Candioti undoubted will and serious purposes have placed her among the artists from whom we can expect a contribution to the art of painting in universal terms. I know of no other artist who has followed the traditions with the sight of Social Paint with the same impetus, having reaped such important fruits. Happy are those who can enjoy her ever increasing master ship.

She has studied the indigenous peoples of many Countries; and the Africans, many of whom are the descendants of slaves who made such valuable contributions to American society, and the peasant communities that occupy the vast landscapes from sea to sea. Although it is the face that speaks to the dignity of the people, she also carefully documents customs and other aspects of the environment to respectfully place each subject within the proper framework of his/her life.She not only captures their physical appearance, she also endeavors to depict them within the context of their history and traditions. Their faces become a testimony of the past and to enduring pride

...Ana goes one step beyond: she brings back to conscience ethnic groups in danger of extinction, not only through her artistry, but as first hand witness to ways of life and customs, the fruit of living amongst the very groups she has chosen to portray. Her trajectory is somewhat paradoxical. While it is grounded on a representation of closed and very singular communities, the artwork of Ana Candioti reaches an unusual universality. And it fills us with pride.

....Ana Candioti is installed in the field of realism, away from naturalism as a mere illustration in her portraits bear the risk to find her own voice through her own spirit forged and turning in the same character and expression of the sitter.
With solid drawing and color sensitive and really thought his works as paintings transcend beyond the similarity and that is what will make them permanent....
