"Clausell had an inner urgency to turn his vision of the reality of the world into paintings […] His craft appears to be a product of his need. He never studied, nor had an academic training and yet, with justice, Xavier Villaurrutia said of him: "A sensual painter in the purest and most direct meaning of the word, his paintings speak without eloquence, poetically to the senses of the spectator. And if all are a delight for the sight, it is fair to say of some that we can breathe them in like an emanation; or touch them, due to the magnificent quality of their material, and even hear in them the silence of their lakes and canals, or the murmur of their forests, or the hasty flight of the waves in their marinas, or the ever-rhythmic boiling of their waterfalls." Juan García Ponce.
