The main feature of Soria Aedo's work is that it does not reflect any of the latest trends but exalts all the emotional, colouristic and psychological wealth hidden in the Spanish setting.  

There are two reasons why Francisco Soria Aedo's painting should be like this: the first is the consequence of an aesthetic rationalism which had a strong influence on his creative work, while the second is a certain influence from environment and tradition, which the painter enjoyed with the pleasure experienced by those who manage to dig down into the sub-soil of sentiment. 

Aesthetic rationalism, i.e. truth and pictorial honesty, is something he learnt from his master, López Mezquita, between 1919, when he arrived in Madrid, and 1926, when he began to work independently.  

His attitude to painting and his style are intended to externalise something very genuine, which he renews with the independent contributions that any artist makes to survive. Soria Aedo will not be a modernist painter but neither is he from the old school.  He is simply a great painter because of his great ability to dissect realism, which underpins all the secrets and virtues of his work. 

The colourist sensuality of most of the subjects tackled by the artist is disciplined towards the exact externalisation of an intimate, suggestive harmony of colour, seen by a temperament which speaks to us of august serenity. The backgrounds in his paintings are based on total serenity, most of them Impressionist masses which bring out the figures in the foreground. A painting by Soria Aedo always gives a clear impression of colour and mass but this impression, despite its august severity, is always moved by an intense emotional tremor, communicated by the artist's mastery in the use of light in his pictures. The realism and perfection of the objects he paints are not what attract us in his painting but that secret of light and atmosphere that the painter was able to infuse in his pictures, with total independence.
