His works, (that is, his work, since Horiki has spent a lifetime on one single work, in the manner said of poets who are always author of a single book), is centred round a colour which gives a sense of immobility: of contemplation that does not deny action but surpasses it. In his works nothing occurs, nothing happens. There is only absolute silence. In short, in his works one sees a kind of pause which becomes light.

One could interpret Horiki’s painting as music which makes itself visible: mental music, subdued, something like a humming chorus since at those points which articulate a space one can sense a faint musicality.
