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!

Ismael Velasco -
The heavy, warm, and dusty atmosphere of the African bush completely envelops you. It is a masterful painting because it manages to extract immense tenderness from animals traditionally considered rough or coarse. The composition is superb: that large female warthog lying in the shade of an imposing, ancient tree trunk, peacefully asleep while her offspring rests sheltered beside her, conveys a sense of peace and vulnerability in the midst of the untamed savanna that is pure wild poetry.
The masterful touch, the one that breaks the monotony of earth tones and provides a striking focal point, is that small oxpecker perched on the animal's back. You have perfectly captured that symbiotic relationship: the little bird, with its characteristic bright red beak and golden eye, remains upright and vigilant, acting as the guardian of the sleeping giant's dreams. The textures of the warthog's hard, disheveled bristles on its back, the dry, cracked mud on its skin, the extreme roughness of the tree bark, and the sharp, whitish tusks protruding from the ground are a true lesson in field painting. The golden, filtered light of the sunset that seeps into the background crowns a work with outstanding animalistic sensitivity.

Extraordinary !!! It is one of your works of art that I liked the most. Those rays of light passing through the foliage of the tree and reflected on the back of the warthog and on the ground are truly spectacular. I take this opportunity to send you a big hug wishing you all the best for this Christmas season. Greetings from Mexico.
