Recio is an irreverent poet who is deliberately iconoclastic, but also a very serious artistic painter who is the closest to the Dominican transvanguardia. He expresses himself freely as he mixes the satire of the tropics (sex and sun sought by tourists) with his own satisfaction at being authentically Dominican. Recio is one of the most extroverted and appealing personalities to emerge from the island nation in recent years. The quality of his prints and outstanding woodcut work show a vital, primitive force that characterizes him.
