ABOUT THE WORK

Juvenal Sansó’s detailed renditions of nature have a captivating, poetic appeal noted by critics. Often identified with his signature nature paintings, he is best known for his works of vividly-hued blooms depicted with dissonant, dramatic colors and textures. Sansó usually painted based on his experiences and emotions at a particular time and was inspired by nature that surrounded him in his travels, hence his inclination to painting natural elements. Always up for experimentation and perfection, Sansó explored various themes and techniques in his works, but he revealed in an interview that he finds himself going back to painting flowers. One also encounters his distinct approach to surrealism through his flower paintings. His art style is noted by art historians as straddling Expressionism and Surrealism.
