" Over the years, the landscapes were less and Ward Lernout turned increasingly to portraits, analytically and without paying attention to the photographic aspect of the models. The result is a mirror of soul and personality. " Anita Nardon, AICA - 1996
"It is clear that Ward Lernout has reached the full maturity of his talent and that he nowhere felt the need for attractive effects or the acquisition of fashion trends. He has developed a style in which the viewer of the ' Joy of Painting ' is partaker of that can be seen so clearly in this art. " Remi De Cnodder, AICA - 1991
