«Abad’s work clearly situates you in the opening of a new society. His works have neither lacked the rebellious and social attitudes of youth – in his own youth, which is important for the prospective of his sculpture – nor the necessary serenity to give it a constructive physiognomy on a par with our times, using the materials of volume and space, the unitary character of the arts without forgetting the creation at any time, on which the freedom of art rests. And when I say the freedom of art, let it be understood that I mean the freedom of the person». (Eduardo Westerdahl)
