Though renowned for his depictions of flowery scenes, Sanso delivers in this work a surrealist feel of a blossoming coral reef that has been distraught in the present era of decay and destruction. In this piece, Sanso provides an idealistic view of the ocean’s underbelly with a cascade of vivid corals that can be mistaken for a garden of whirling flowers. The Catalonian painter provides a serenity of beauty in the flora in its foreground with a striking crimson atmosphere that is slowly creeping into disintegrating the bountiful and living creatures.
