Crusty green rocks define this mindscape as only the Filipino Catalan Juvenal Sanso could. Sanso’s art has been described as belonging to a style of “poetic surrealism.” This is due to the artist’s predilection for solitary landscapes and a peculiar kind of vegetation, botanically speaking. Sanso, though he painted with a painstaking exactness his surreal take on nature — nevertheless used his surreal idioms as visual elements to a wider conception of nature, the nature of poetry and of imaginative inspiration.
