"Souza is famous for his inflammatory treatment of heads. The iconography is morbidly personal, the distortion grotesque to the point of a neurotic edge; the image proper shows mannerisms played to the dark labyrinth of the psyche", K.B. Goel, Art Critic,1990.
"I have created a new kind of face... I have drawn the physiognomy way beyond Picasso, in completely new terms..." Artist statement, Yashodhara Dalmia, The Making of Modern Indian Art: The Progressives, New Delhi, 2001, p. 94.
