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!

Angel Moya -
What a superb close-up, Master! If in previous compositions you delighted us with the dynamics of escapes or familial tenderness, here you opt for a pure psychological and anatomical portrait. It is a painting that commands absolute respect.
What captivates you is the gaze of the old wild boar. That small, brown, intelligent, and distrustful eye, fixed on the viewer, concentrates all the wisdom and experience of a survivor of the dehesas and hunts. The strength of the three-quarter view of the head is monumental, superbly highlighting the defenses: those whitish and sharp tusks and grinders that protrude from the lip with perfect realism and sheen, testimonies of a thousand rutting battles and rubbing posts.
Technically, the canvas is a masterful lesson in textures. You have avoided a detailed background to focus all the artistic weight on the beast. The hard, rough, and grizzled bristles of the coat, the subtle lighter undercoat peeking out from beneath the dark layer, the wrinkled skin around the snout, and the tremendous density of the erect and hairy ears are rendered with a precision of brushwork that almost allows one to feel the animal's rough touch. The palette of earthy tones, ochres, and leaden grays of the background enhances the figure of the suid, endowing it with a sculptural presence.
