Pierre Ino has been called a cosmic artist, a “master of fantastic reality” and an innovator of “Fantasmagoric” visions. Professor Raymond F. Piper, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Syracuse University, New York writes:

“Ino understands and denounces the present state of mankind in which he finds men preoccupied with materialism, suffering, darkness, and walking down dimly illuminated passages of destiny. While most modern artists are actively expressing anxiety and homelessness - especially the abstractionists who proclaim ‘the absence of spirituality in the object of Art’ - Ino expresses himself as a distinctive painter of transformation and cosmic metamorphosis. Ino knows that all things are in a state of change. He feels the indefinable force of God who keeps the world moving. Ino uses birds, meteors, and flames as symbols of soul. He detaches his artistic subjects from all terrestrial linkages and reconstructs them in the free infinite space of the mind.”*
