The landscapes of Juvenal Sanso manage to create a compelling story all on their own. Vivid and intense, his lush green countryside and deep blue seas transport the viewers to the coast of Brittany where Sanso spent a portion of his life. With Magnetic Allure is Sanso’s recollection of the beautiful seaside.
The artist’s landscapes are born from his frequent travels to France and the Philippines. With Magnetic Allure is reminiscent of Brittany’s coast – the Atlantic Ocean rests in its west, the Bay of Biscay in the southwest, and the English Channel to the north. This view Sanso immortalizes as he depicts the verdant green grass and dreamy blue seas with a distinct romanticism that breathes life into the piece. His world brims with intensity, reflecting the Romantic’s preoccupation with raw human feelings. As such, With Magnetic Allure overcomes the viewers with the majesty of the place, exalting the grandeur of nature and placing into stark contrast the position of humanity and the capriciousness of mortal existence.
