Each work of Tapia is a unit that creates the line between ranges: the proportion harmonic, the synthesis of symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, pressing quadrantal, rhythmic additive properties and geometric, the sublime triangle, and the logarithmic spiral. What at first, might seem pure geometry, is invigorated plastic with touches of Tapia: fluid and fine lines, straight and curved, sinuous, oblique, and rhythm that bring life to the things he paints.
His paintings reflect Tapia Angeloni's reality before our eyes, but, immobilized by its pictorial image takes on a weight and a force that the movement of life often hidden from us: this is the wonder of the everyday. Tapia gives us the joy of discovery.

Tapia Angeloni's painting is equipped with impressive solvency (which is detected only in who knows what it does), high technical refinement, and the resulting is transparent, not least comes from devices and other facilities normally used to fill the gap. Angeloni Tapia got into this art because it was aimed at this. Tapia is an exceptional portrait and landscape. Realism appears in both, but not "hyper" one for all, but as a reflection of reality or continuity of simple, natural and everyday.
