The day falls for this big cat, Iberia's carnivorous jewel. Proud, haughty, and now pampered, with little more than a hundred brothers alive on the planet. Another of my compositions in an inverted 'L', broken only by the torso of the feline. This painting is an oil painting on canvas. 81 x 116 cms Manuel Sosa © 2012

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.
European Turtle Dove I have this painting, and others, a marvel, I have the house with several paintings of Manuel, thrush, woodcock, quail, if the house would be bigger I would have more, thanks Manuel for making these paintings more accessible.
I was able to personalise the prints Thank you very much for your help, very professional and approachable. All the best!

Alba de Andrés -
Una composición imponente, Manuel! Colocar al lince coronando ese enorme canchal de piedra rompe con los típicos encuadres planos y le da un aire de «rey del monte» que quita el hipo. Transmite esa calma tensa tan felina: parece que está sesteando al sol, pero su mirada entornada domina absolutamente todo el valle que queda a sus pies.
El trabajo de texturas en esa descomunal roca en primer plano es una auténtica locura; has clavado los líquenes grises y blancos y la rugosidad del granito con un relieve soberbio. La luz del atardecer golpea de lado el flanco derecho de la piedra, bañándola en un ocre dorado espectacular que contrasta con los tonos fríos y nublados de ese cielo que amenaza tormenta al fondo. El lince, tumbado a su aire arriba del todo con las patas estiradas, destaca con una nitidez anatómica perfecta, desde los pinceles finos para las patillas y pinceles negros de las orejas hasta el moteado de su pelaje. Es soberbio.

Another marvellous lynx, paid tribute to by Manuel Sosa in a sublime, unsurpassable way.
And now I am going to make a petition and protest a little:
When will the Reina Sofía Museum acquire some of his works so that we, the general public -or plebs for some- can enjoy them?
Please, let the Ministry of Culture do its job (I wouldn't even mind if they put it next to a modern doodle and/or a joke, I'd put up with it stoically, I'd try not to laugh, I promise).
And on the other hand, I know that this work is the one that gives publicity to the temporary exhibition -too brief- in the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid (my most sincere congratulations) but it should be extended throughout Spain because this fauna and the Art that represents it should be a bit of everyone's, a national treasure. That is how I feel.
And the Princess of Asturias Award for the Arts.
It is a disgrace that an artist of this stature is valued more highly abroad than in his own country.

Manuel what a wonderful job with this Lynx, what an air of grandeur. Very impressive:-)
Congratulations on this and your latest admirable work.
Kind regards.
