Barbara Calderón writes for ArtNet News that "like many of his pieces, Rosales-Silva’s "Biblioteca" (2020) uses a mixture of paint and sand to create a textured surface like stucco, a popular material in the southwest U.S. for coating building exteriors. The overwhelmingly saturated colors create vibrational effects that nod to a color language associated generally with Latino culture and more specifically with Mexican architecture."
