Critics have said:

About Sound Check, Teatro Diego in the  Entr'acte series: “A very intelligent homage to Diego Velasquez' Las Meninas.  A bravo to the artist.  Di Bella's work (Entr'acte) is a swirl of frenzied theatrical activity and bedlam in a riot of strong brushwork and color impossibilities.”, F. Lennox Campello, DC art critic and blogger (dc art news) .

 About the Entr'acte series: "The energy is volcanic in Patricia Di Bella's psychologically charged paintings of the theater", Sarah Tanguy, Curator of the Art in Embassies Program.
