ABOUT THE WORK

Juvenal Sansó’s works serve as portals to his psyche. As a highly expressive and personal artist, Sansó uses his palette to convey his innermost sentiments. The dominant hues, themes, and moods are reflective of the artist’s present outlook on his life. There have been numerous variations of Sansó’s subject matter depicting rock formations, with each possessing an atmosphere of sentimentality. Raw and penetrating, the orange skies exude a contemplative yearning, albeit with an intense poignancy. The magnitude of the dominant color eclipse the view of the landscape, pervading it with the soul-stirring presence of wistful longing. Furthermore, the backdrop is reminiscent of the famed Manila Bay sunset. This serves as an allusion to Sansó’s nostalgic boyhood in Manila before the outbreak of the Second World War. Sansó’s awe-inspiring landscapes are the brainchildren of both his artistic finesse and personal experiences. His iconic rock formations, tranquil oceans, and enthralling skies have left an indelible impression on his viewers, making his works highly coveted by art collectors and connoisseurs alike. With utmost certainty, Sansó’s evocative landscapes will be his timeless legacies to Philippine art.
