“Soriano's work embodies the essence of ancestral identity. It presents an intriguing Leitmotif expressed in the spiritual connection between the heart of the sky and the heart of the earth. His pieces transcend the materials from which they are made; in his artistic expressions, stone ceases to be stone, wood ceases to be wood, and instead becomes the ancestral manifestation of the element it represents”.

“Encountering Edwin Soriano's work is likely being transported to other timelines; it invites to think and feel through knowledge systems that emerge from his deep commitment to stone and water as a means of remembrance. The echoes remain, suggesting a path to follow and influencing, in a compelling way, the will to act”.
