The definition of a poem as “…a rhythmical composition… expressing facts, ideas, or emotions in a style more concentrated, imaginative, and powerful than that of ordinary speech…” seems appropriate to the qualities in Sansó.” The world of Sansó’s paramount artistry holds distinct contrasting spirits that balance between darkness and light. His works usually depict landscapes of insentient figures juxtaposed against a backdrop of profoundly radiating orange or red hues.
At first glance, one might notice Sansó’s prowess in terms of his style and technique. The striking application of hues, his straightforward style, and his contemplations that are reflected in his canvas all seem to intermingle to create a genuine body of work. But it is in his ability to mirror his sentiments in his works that truly captures the essence of his artistry. His powerful linear and contemplative style coalesced with his passionate harmony of colors brings to life his inanimate subjects. Similar to a poet’s emotions gushing over to his words, Sansó captures the authenticity of his disposition through his stellar understanding of his canvas – an attestation to his firm grasp of his artistry.","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":"
