The artistry of Juvenal Sansó is filled with distinct contrasting spirits that strike a balance between brightness and darkness. His understanding of light and form has allowed the fine artist to capture the figurative nature of his subjects with a certain deftness, and his textures are achieved not with heavy impasto but through the line and pronounced color shifts. Furthermore, the ability of Sansó to mirror his sentiments into his works genuinely captures the essence of his craft. As a sensitive artist, the war years left scars on his soul. The experiences that led him to create dour and dark scenes and images still lurk within the recesses of his mind, but Sansó has seemingly made amends with them, learning to live with his past in order to create a better tomorrow.
