In his article in “Arte al Día” online, critic Ricardo Pau Llosa calls Melquiades “not only Puerto Rico’s most important contemporary sculptor (but also) one of the finest contemporary artists anywhere.” Paul-Llosa goes on to note that Melquiades has not simply rejected the current theoretical underpinnings of most contemporary art, but “is a thinking man who bases his creativity on reflection and not simply on enacting the dicta of this or that current trend. He is a sculptor of ideas, not an illustrator of passing notions.”
