" Sculpteur aux formes nobles et imposantes, il [Hiquily] prend l'érotisme et l'esthétisme à contre-pied et les intègre à sa libre création. Du fer plié et forgé à la patine satinée du bronze s'affirme l'irrésistible énergie vitale d'une oeuvre singulière entre toutes qui n'est pas seulement un objet de délectation pure mais le lieu d'une dramaturgie charnelle où Hiquily, le charmeur rebelle, se fait également voyeur" (Pierre Cabanne in Hiquily bronzes et mobilier, Paris, 2005).
