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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

1 review for Chestnut-bellied sandgrouse (Pterocles exustus)

  1. RIchard C. -

    What a painting, maestro! Capturing the essence of sandgrouse is to fully immerse oneself in the absolute mimicry of arid and desert soils. The first thing that stands out in the real image is the impeccable distinction you've made of the pair. The upright specimen in the background, with its intricate and very fine brown and black barring, contrasts with the one lying in the foreground, where that beautiful, clean, bright ocher-golden chest stands out, crossed by that subtle and elegant black line that gives it its name.

    The general atmosphere of the painting is pure sun-drenched warmth. You have managed to make the canvas radiate that dry heat of wastelands and steppes thanks to a minimalist chromatic palette of sand, clay, and straw tones. The loose brushwork in the dry grassland of the foreground and the blurred background make the figures of the birds settle on the ground with superb realism and stillness, almost as if you could hear the silence of the desert broken only by their song as they fly. As with the Waalia dove, that dark rustic frame with the golden fillet enhances the luminosity of the painting in a very elegant way.
