ABOUT THE WORK

Juvenal Sansó has an immediately recognizable style of his own. It is based on elements of the natural world, perhaps buried deep in his subconscious and from which it would eventually emerge. His so-called poetic surrealism stems from his preference for solitary landscapes and the otherworldly vegetation of swamps and tidal flats. The artist views his subjects from refracted glasses tinted with the soft and melancholy haze of memory. The result is a technically masterful painting: scenes and images exist as though from a strange—yet familiar—world. His detailed renditions of forms transcend the natural and take on a higher, mysterious level of reality.
