ABOUT THE WORK

Juvenal Sansó’s poetic surrealism is evident in his still life works, particularly of flower bouquets. His paintings of flowers are noted to have a captivating, poetic appeal with the subject matter’s dissonant, dramatic colors and textures. A shift from his Black Period series, Sansó would use an engaging color palette for his depictions of flowers with an expressionist-surrealist bent. “Feeling color very wildly” in his painting process was likened by Sansó to a “very, very intoxicating experience of extreme color.” This polychromatic still life piece shows a quality of otherworldliness. Transcending natural features, Sansó takes his chosen subject matter on a more intriguing, mysterious level of reality. Here, his eye for detail and refined brushwork add a dimension of complexity
