Oil painting of a peregrine falcon chasing a royal swift in full flight in the sky, by Manuel Sosa

Gold and silver

Swifts, capable of soaring through the sky at 170 km/h, hold the record for horizontal flight speed. But a young peregrine falcon tries to catch a common swift by "cheating", reaching a dizzying 320 km/h when it swoops down, thus winning the gold medal for the fastest animal on Earth. Oil on canvas.

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 A beautiful plate. Better in natural. I ordered it as a gift for a bird lover. By mistake they sent me another one and Mr. Sosa was kind enough to give me the wrong one and sent me the one I asked for, so I was able to give a great gift. They are both beautiful. Thank you for your generosity. The person who received them is a follower of your paintings and it made him very happy. Thank you very much.

I'll give it to myself again any day now I bought it many years ago and was tempted to give it as a gift. It is superb. And so are the Print, shipping and delivery time. I'll give it as a present again any day. Best regards

The Prints are spectacular!!! I have just received your order and have been delighted with it. It is much better than I expected. I'm sorry I don't have a healthier economy to be able to buy some of your originals.

The quality of the print is fantastic!!! Thanks for your promptness, Manuel. The woodcock are already framed in my living room, they are a success!
Abelino Miralles
It was worth it a thousand times over We were looking for something exceptional, something special that would differentiate us and above all that would express something about us and our environment. We found it in Manuel's work and in the high quality of his reproduction, as well as in his good advice and treatment. I have no doubt that we will repeat.

We were very satisfied! Good afternoon Manuel, I saw your work at Intercaza (Cordoba) a few years ago and I liked it very much. We bought a small print of the Chochin from you on-line and we were very satisfied. That is why we will come back again. Best regards.

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

  1. Ssntiago M. -

    What fascinates me about this work is how you have resolved the physiognomy of the bird in full action. The wings, curved in perfect aerodynamics, show an extremely fine and meticulous barring on the coverts that denotes your thousands of hours of observation in the field. But the soul of the painting is in the head: that fixed, penetrating gaze, with the cere of the beak and the talons retracted, a fiery yellow that breaks the cold palette of the sky. And the background... that transition of leaden, dense and stormy clouds that open below towards clear tones of twilight light, gives it an atmosphere of brutal altitude. The falcon is not painted on a background; it is truly floating in the air.

  2. André Guijarro -

    This painting is a visual cannon.

  3. Antón Martín -

    What an absolute work of art, Manuel! It's pure adrenaline and aerial engineering captured on canvas. The peregrine falcon and the common swift represent the absolute speed of our skies, and capturing that instant of dodging, pursuit, and maximum tension in the air is an enormous compositional challenge that you have resolved masterfully.
    The dynamic force of the composition completely captivates you. The common swift's dodge in the foreground, showing its white chest and crossbow-shaped wings, contrasts spectacularly with the imposing figure of the peregrine falcon swooping down on it. You have captured the falcon in full braking or sharp turn, with its tail fanned open showing its intricate barring and its talons ready for impact. The raptor's expression, with its beak open, conveys tremendous wild power, all enveloped in an atmosphere of blurred misty clouds and skies that accentuates the sensation of altitude and vertigo.

  4. Rodrigo Martinez -

    The mythical animal par excellence and one of the favourites (next to the wolf) of the falconer and biologist the unforgettable Felix Rodríguez de la Fuente is represented in this majestic painting, full of scents and colours that are fixed on the artist's palette and to which he gives form, like a true juggler of Painting and like any sculptor (another wonderful profession) blow by blow, verse by verse, as that good man Antonio Machado would say.The artist (Manuel) is in his usual position and an overflowing joy emerges from his body and soul (all in one). Seeing him and two other artist friends of mine, Modesto Trigo Trigo and Salvador Amaya, reconciles me with Humanity and I feel that there are still noble people left in a world in perpetual darkness and decadence (without any Theology in use). Cordial greetings from Madrid, city of Villa y Corte.

  5. Rafa Villagra -

    Ufffffffff I didn't know you but from now on I will try to follow you!!! because I don't think my economic situation will allow me to buy one of your works!!! Congratulations on your work.

  6. Rafael Colino Andres -

    It is difficult to label a second of a chase with two such imposing actors, but the definition of the moment described by Manuel Sosa is superb and majestic.
