Maximum punctuality and excellent packaging
I am delighted to have received the prints I ordered with the utmost punctuality and excellent packaging. They take my breath away, they transport me to the fantastic world of nature that you know how to reproduce with mastery, creating not only the image, but also recreating the spirituality of the moment... I have no words and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Finally, I have bought a canvas print - Gold and Silver in the original size. It only remains for me to congratulate you for these beautiful paintings that make us fall in love as soon as we see them and that transport us with our minds to landscapes never seen through your paintings. Like when you read a book.
A cordial greeting and thank you very much.

True art in the hands and heart The fine art print is beautiful. It looks even better in person. I ordered it as a gift for a bird lover. By mistake, they sent me a different one, and Mr. Sosa had the wonderful gesture of gifting me the incorrect one and sending me the one I had ordered, which allowed me to give a truly magnificent gift. Both are beautiful. Thank you for your generosity. The person who received them is a follower of your paintings and was immensely happy. Many thanks.
Someday I will treat myself to it again
I bought it many years ago and succumbed to the temptation of gifting it. It is magnificent. And so are the fine art print, the shipping, and the delivery time. Someday I will treat myself to it again. Best regards.

The Prints are spectacular!!!
I have just received your order and am delighted with it. It is much better than I expected. I regret not having a healthier financial situation to be able to acquire one of your original oil paintings.

Manuel, I already have your Common Quails framed and hung in my home. I don't know how you make the fine art prints, but it looks 100% like an original!! Impressive!!

We are very satisfied!
Good afternoon Manuel, I discovered your work at Intercaza (Córdoba) some years ago and liked it very much. We bought a small fine art print of the Eurasian Wren online from you and were very satisfied. That is why we are buying again. Regards.

I have just received the fine art print of your painting "Partridges and Thistles"
I can only say that we liked it very much, and since it is a gift for a good friend, I am absolutely certain that he will love it. The ease of purchase and the speed of its reception are appreciated. I hope to repeat the purchase, and if anyone were to ask me, I would not hesitate to recommend you, being absolutely certain that they would be pleased.

The fine art prints are very good!
Manuel, Good morning: I am Carlos from Huete, who bought two paintings of partridges from you a few days ago, and I must tell you that, to my taste, they are very, VERY GOOD. I have already told some friends; surely some of them will buy from you.
Carlos de Huete
I wanted to confirm the receipt of the order I placed last week, and my absolute satisfaction with the quality of the fine art prints you sent me.
Álvaro García Matéu
Impressive!
I was telling you on WhatsApp that it's the best I've seen so far, by far!!!! Besides many hours in the field, one must have a special gift, a very special one.

Before seeing the signature, you know it's by Manuel Sosa. Before the artist, there is the passion and devotion for nature. A master.

European turtle dove I have this painting, and others too, a marvel. I have my home adorned with several paintings by Manuel: a Song Thrush, a Common Snipe, a Common Quail. If my house were bigger, I would have more. Thank you Manuel for making these paintings more accessible.
Alberto Olmos

What a marvel, maestro! Here you reveal your soul as a pure naturalist. More than a painting of static composition, you gift us a page of field notes and scientific illustrations that is a true biological treasure. You are paying a most exquisite tribute to one of the rarest, most threatened, and most unique anatids of our wetlands: the marbled duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris).
The richness of details and information completely captivates you. The canvas or paper becomes a living observation diary. That detailed close-up of the male's head stands out remarkably, where you have perfectly drawn that characteristic dark «mask» around the eye and that subtle tuft or small disheveled crest on the nape. The network of light and diffuse spots on the brown plumage (which gives it the name 'pardilla' - brownish) is resolved with a truly masterful delicacy in the watercolor transparencies.
The narrative value of the work is multiplied by the complementary anatomical and behavioral notes that dot the composition: sketches of birds in full flight, courtship scenes in the water, broken eggs in the nest, and the tender huddled chick, all enriched with your handwritten pencil annotations on its biology (such as silent flight or male courtship). It is a work that breathes the aroma of the Doñana marshes, field work with binoculars, and the passion for saving a species on the brink of extinction.
