           “The art work of Betty Seminario is of figurative in nature and mainly designed in oil on canvas. Her art work represents the characters that live in the Andes, displaying their traditions, clothing, handicrafts, and popular customs; demonstrating frequently a particular sense of humor, through which reflects her refined critical intellect that in a way connects her with her illustrative face.
           The depth of her compositions reveals her technique and great quality, as well as her outstanding control in drawing; the expression and the pictorial as well as landscape properties, which gives intensity to the fabric. The color, which is vibrant in all its shades, is always acquired from nature and reality.
           An art piece of exceptional style in which Betty Seminario captures the pure moment, as it would be from a photograph, leaving the evidence of her artistic value and a delight from which she creates each and one of her detailed pieces of art.”

          “The Peruvian artist Betty Seminario takes advantage of the advertising language and folkloric typologies of her native land, in order to create an essay on poetical art and universal breathing, where the people respond in accordance to the predetermined collectivity, but conserving each one, its own individuality”.

          “The school is diverse, but carries the artistic dynamism; these are scenes that represent life on itself, as the pictoric games of Brueghel, the elderly, the festivities, placed transpositions of romantic imaginary roads that engage the viewer in meditation, contemplation and into dreams; it seems as if the viewer lives out of this world and of this reality; she demonstrates a sophistication in the dozen of characters depicted in each one of her pieces of art; the originality of the work of Betty Seminario is transparent. Furthermore, it is normal to attribute her, a keen inclination to The Netherlands painting of the 50’s, full of charm and mystery; that astonishes people when knowing that the artist comes from a historically far away schooling, the Flamenca; it is from South American, in which can be affirmed the expressive quality of her pictorial compositions”.

          “A total different spirit that displays the paintings of the Peruvian artist Betty Seminario, having a good time, celebrating. The artist enjoys and makes us enjoy as well, the peasant spirit of her native country. It is not related to Folklore; usually not seeing in the walls of buyers too sensible to a trend. Betty’s work seeks the anthropological aspect, seasoned with tasteful humor, along with viewers and central characters of a microcosm, in which she pays great attention particularly to the tones and details with a certain style. Of her smooth brush stroke affectionately insightful of bright colors utilized whether in “climatic” key word that psychologically points out images-evidence of an ancient simplicity that is banishing nowadays”.
