    "...descubrí sus imágenes mucho antes de saber que eran suyas.
    Me quedé prendada de sus mensajes, de la trepidación, distorsiones, de su falta de nitidez, de sus tonos...de su magia.

    Algunos años después decidí entrar en la comunidad flickr. Y como es normal en este tipo de redes un contacto te lleva a otro. Así y como sin darme cuenta volví a reencontrarme con las imágenes de Esther. Mi admiración creció de una manera desmedida. Paseé por toda su galería y descubrí una vez más el poder de expresión de esta artista.
    Esther habla directamente al alma. No le sirven intermediarios porque ella sola sabe hacerse llegar.

    Con un ataque de timidez (propio de quien admira) probé a agregarla a mis contactos. Y Esther se mostró cercana. Con esa especial humildad que caracteriza a los grandes.

    A los grandes de verdad.

    Desde aquí, mi admiración por tu obra, querida Esther."

    "Esther explores the spiritual dimensions of existence, she draws upon her personal experiences in her ethereal art, creating poetry with her images of her surroundings and everday life. Rythmic, soulful, almost like a painting, but better!"

    "Esther`s stream is like a touch from another universe; a universe where emotions, elegance and surrealism rule.You can fill it so loaded in each of her photos.
    And not only her photos ; but her character has really something angelic,she`s always so nice.
    abrazos amiga mia;)"

    "Y ella sigue DIBUJANDO, trazo a trazo, pincelada a pincelada.... con una paleta de obturadores y diafragmas, de luces, sombras y formas, con movimientos, con sentimientos... una realidad atrapada en fantasía. Envuelta en gasas de sutiliezas, sus imágenes impenetrables a la lógica, te acercarán al mágico mundo de la cratividad cromática del color inexistente de los sueños."

    "When I saw her photostream for the first time,
    I was amazed by the variety of expression.
    she is a true specialist of creating her world on the photographs.
    the combination her colors and blur will take us to the beautiful
    world. And I love her spritual mind expressed on her works as well."

    "On flickr, there are loads of people who take pictures. There are some who take good pictures, a few who take great pictures and just one or two who are doing something so extraordinary, so beautiful and full of magic and joy that you gasp out loud.

    Magua's one o' them. My eyes bleed with jealousy."

    "Esther’s work fascinates me. To me her images portray that which is intangible, the essence of colour, light and life itself. She captures moments of everyday life and transforms them into works of art. She is not only a wonderful artist but a kind person. Esther, thank you for sharing your beautiful work and inspiring me!"

    "Quien quiera acercarse a tu trabajo le impresionará sin remedio. Verá que no tienes límites con la creatividad, que trabajas con las emociones y los sentimientos, que usas con destreza y habilidad la expresividad de la figura humana, de sus grandeza y de sus miserias.
    Eres, por convicción, maestra y ejemplo de recursos incombustibles para todos nosotros.
    Impresiona con qué fuerza creativa realizas tus sueños y se hacen realidad, eso es ser una ARTISTA. Artista que se expresa y trabaja con cualquier máquina de época o de actualidad.
    Lo que David Hamilton disfrutaría a tu lado así como lo hacemos nosotros cada día, que impresionante es internet que nos deja hacerlo."

    "Esther is an astonishingly gifted image creator. The thought and details that she puts into her work is an artform in itself, and this is reflected by the praise that is written for every image posted.
    I am often at a loss for words when I visit this stream. I wander through her dreams and nightmares in silent awe, thank you Esther for sharing your view of the world."

    "Deixo aqui o registro da minha admiração para com Esther Hernandez, uma grande mulher, uma artista, uma criadora. Seus ousados trabalhos instigam-nos a pensar e a viajar pelo mundo de suas perspectivas embasadas em valores tão universais.

    A Esther é uma pensadora, cria e compartilha idéias e sentimentos, aproxima-se de cada um como uma pessoa de fé e doçura, além de demonstrar firmeza e solidez no que faz. Viajamos no universo do seu imaginário através das suas criações, carregadas de drama e emoção, que demandam esforço e talento.

    Além de tudo que foi dito acima, ela arrebata nossa afeição, estando atenta aos que a cercam, muito embora de tão longas distâncias.

    Há muito tempo quero escrever algo para ela, mas as palavras... as palavras não dizem tudo, e muitas vezes nos faltam ou nos parecem insuficientes...

    Para Esther, meu abraço afetuoso.

    Porto Alegre, 03/06/2007. Brasil"

    "Creativity to me ultimately means being alive and expressing creation in all its millions of tiny mosaic pieces filled with the joy and passion of life.
    When i look at Esther's art i feel she is manifesting exactly that in her own unique way. I feel privileged to be able to watch her creative universe unfold."

    "Powerfully creative, with an unblinking eye for truth and honesty, Esther breathes life and soul into each of her images. Passionate, sensitive and soulful, her work is imbued with raw emotion and brutal beauty. Oftentimes challenging to view, always satisfying to the soul.

    An uncompromising individual, with the finest work of the highest order. And I might add, she is a wonderfully sensitive and supportive person, too."

    "Esther calls herself a photographer. I disagree. What she shows is as different from a photograph as a newspaper article is from a poem by William Wordsworth. Magic!"

    "To write a proper testimonial for Esther, i would first need to display the words "Mystery", "Beauty", "Artist" and "Alchemy" in Cuneiform, Rune and/or some long forgotten Romantic Language. To this I would then add the smouldering ash of a caravan's campfire, tea leaves, the starry mantle of the night sky, a cantata sung in minor keys, words whispered with closed eyes at Delphi, the essence of how the air feels where the sea meets the land, the joyful feeling of discovering a secret garden, and last but not least, the shadows made by the Sun and Moon on the floor of Athena's forest..."
