"With a well-structured and consistent work, developed with abstractions that suggest movement and lightness, adding to the feeling that the paint strokes suggest intense movement, a sort of restlessness that take the spectator to some interesting and amazing experiences. Surprisingly many of his works floating like mobile sculpture design suspended in the air creating a spatial sensation of disquieting fascination. The work want to fly off from the merely material realm and the restlessness of this physical realm of painting is a counterpoint to the subtleness the personal and spiritual worlds of the artist. The key to the beginning of an understanding of the magnetism that Piasson's art seems to instill in people.

In recent works the format of his canvases refer a sailing.
His work is closely linked with the sea… Inspirations from the ocean through its coexistence with the sea, sailing, surfing and his passion for nature. Presently, the paintings of Piasson represent a link between matter and spirit which turns them into a fantastic visual experience. He points down, as at the beginning of his career, and now even more intensely, one of the many paths that are arising on the horizon of these new times, and which could turn him into one of the most striking artists of his generation.”
