"Pedro Coronel represents a source of inexhaustible inspiration; his many themes and ideas come from a world that is a mixture between popular imagination and a sense of fecundity, those vibrations that come from pure color and with a sense towards the monumental are obviously extracted by his awareness of ancient art...His compositions, filled with suggestive and dynamic shapes, sometimes original volcanic forms that lead the viewer to spiritual subjectivity."
(Alfonso de Neuvillate, Pintura Actual México, 1966, p. 15)
