"The paintings of Daniel Cotroneo continues a rich intellectual tradition in Latin America is considered by the universality of its ideas, for his criticism and his capacity to project the problems affecting societies today. A tradition is distinguished by its social commitment, to say the truth and to exalt freedom. What distinguishes his work is his nonconformist behavior and environmental protection environment. The painting of multiple intolerances Cotrina evidence of our time and reminds us that culture should be independent but not indifferent in relation to the problems facing our communities. Indigenous roots work planned exercise a special influence on public interest issues, highlighting the role and responsibility of popular culture in relation to the community. His work, which develops critical thinking and a heritage valuation that are relevant in these times of profound cultural, economic, social and political-is a healthy exercise for democracy itself. His criticism has greater significance when we note that makes the free flow of ideas the main instrument for the defense of civil liberties. Develops his ideals Cotrina thinking through open, plural and tolerant. Her free spirit is opposed to dogmatism to which culture is rigid and unchangeable and its commitment is clear: the extension of citizenship rights, the necessary incorporation of the excluded of the world, developing a sense of progress without forget our rich ancestral roots, allow bridging the gap between those who enjoy their rights and those who can not yet make them effective "(Isidro Cisneros)
