"We believe without any doubt that proposing a large review of Angelo Vadalą's work of art can be a significant and awaited event for all those interested in art and know how to recognize an artist for his basic and prestigious role in the contemporary cultural view through his wide activity...

We hope that Vadalą's work, amply recognized by the international critique, allows further careful examination of his singular creative experience and also offers an effective and fascinating view towards this poetic universe where men and their myths rediscover primitive beauty and the once-had self respect." 

         Pro-Loco Castelnuovo Garfagnana, 1998

"It is indeed hard today to be a painter, and sticking to tradition, as Angelo Vadalą does with proud originality, is nothing less than heroic. Exceptionally talented as a painter and sculptor, unique in his drawings, full of cultured and fascinating contaminations, he moves through the history of art exploiting every possible and practically feasible reference.  An eclectic artist, he has been a step ahead of all the cultural games in the famous return to order, demonstrating that originality is worthless if it lacks talent.

A. Vadalą's painting is not realism retold, nor is it the surrealism of the absurd and the impossible. It is a symbolic ideal that lends itself to a variety of interpretations without ever lapsing into doubt or banality.  It is improbable, but not impossible. Myth is hidden behind subtle games, never lapsing into a tale told and described directly, ready instead to bewilder us from a cultural point of view and perturb our notions of time and space.

Vadalą is a portrait painter out of the ordinary.  The extremely high level he reaches in his portraits combines a magical faithfulness with originality in composition.  And it is this that makes Angelo Vadalą one of the finest portrait painters in this historical moment of time."
