ABOUT THE WORK

A prolific artist committed to painting, Juvenal Sanso has produced numerous works and exhibited in various oneman shows. Up to this day, Sanso remains in-demand and revered in local and international art scenes; many are in awe at his impressive oeuvre that visually communicates the beauty of nature, from massive rock formations to serene views of landscapes and rivers, as well as emotions of angst and pain in his earlier works. Sanso’s signature poetic surrealism, moreover, is not only found in his works of solitary landscapes but also in his melancholic still life pieces. This is one of his still life works in which his poetic sensibilities as an artist drawn from personal encounters with nature are revealed. The subdued hues and rendered lovely blooms in this stunning still life piece evoke a sense of calm and ethereality, composed as a visual rendering of the symphony of life, also giving us a glimpse of a stirring of the soul toward the beauty of nature.
