Elizondo Review
“Hace ya más de quince años que Elena Climent me sorprendió con la audacia de su visión con unos dibujos humorísticos con que ilustraban, en seduencias pictográficas de rara habilidad narrativa, situaciones de la vida cotidiana. Desde entonces lo que fue para mí una revelación inesperada se ha convertido en toda una tendencia que invariablemente se asimila a denominaciones tales como ‘ultra-realismo’, pintura pintoresca academia, genre, conversation place, prosa, etc. ...”

Review of the show "To My Parents"
"Climent’s paintings are about memory, but they are as much about accepting how memory is changed and altered as we grow older. They are also about letting go of those things which will never return. Perhaps the best thing about these pictures is that while they represent the end product of a personal journey, the artist was able to avoid the trap of melancholic sentimentality. Some of the works in the show, which was titled “To My parents,” are ironic and funny, embracing without apology or nostalgia the oddball qualities not only of Climent’s parents daily existence but those of everyone else’s."
