To come across an Iberian wolf in the middle of a forest is almost a dream, as is this painting. For five years I have visited this oak grove next to my house almost every day and I have never seen a single man there. So why are there no wolves? "The last one we shot twenty years ago" Vitorio answers me...' This painting is an oil painting on canvas. 116 x 81 cms. Manuel Sosa © 1998

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.
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.
I was able to customize the fine art prints Many thanks for your help, very professional and approachable. I wish you all the best!

Manuel Sosa -
Walking alone through a dense forest on a misty morning and, suddenly, this creature appearing among the trunks to fix its gaze on you is a religious experience. In this oil painting, I wanted to capture that second of pure magic: the wolf observing you in absolute silence, camouflaged with the mountain. I added a lot of material and texture to the moss on the rocks in the foreground to contrast with the lightness of the background fog that swallows the trees. In the end, I painted that unique shiver you feel when you encounter a wolf.

This painting is pure atmosphere, mystery, and countryside emotion. You perfectly manage to convey that exact second when you're walking through the woods in silence and, suddenly, between the fog and the trunks, you come across the great ghost of the forest staring at you. It's a frozen instant that chills your blood with excitement.
The handling of depth and light is a masterful painting lesson. The wolf timidly peeks out from the left, half-hidden behind a trunk, with a clean and curious gaze that stands out in the gloom. The textures of the old moss on the rocks in the foreground have incredible strength and relief, contrasting with the lightness and mysticism of that background where the trees completely blur under a beautiful white and hazy light. The atmosphere of this painting is truly amazing.

I wish all «encounters» with the wolf were like this: simply a beautiful animal, a masterpiece of nature, and a good man; and between them only curiosity and the desire to immortalize it in such a sublime way, not to destroy it.
