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!

Pilgrim falcon and swift painting
Finally, I have bought a canvas print - Gold and Silver in the original size. It only remains for me to congratulate you for these beautiful paintings that make us fall in love as soon as we see them and that transport us with our minds to landscapes never seen through your paintings. Like when you read a book.
A cordial greeting and thank you very much.

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!

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.

I told you in a wasap that the best thing I had seen so far, with a lot of ¡¡¡¡. In addition to many hours in the field, you have to have a special gift, a very special gift.

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

What a marvel, maestro! Here you reveal your soul as a pure naturalist. More than a painting of static composition, you gift us a page of field notes and scientific illustrations that is a true biological treasure. You are paying a most exquisite tribute to one of the rarest, most threatened, and most unique anatids of our wetlands: the marbled duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris).
The richness of details and information completely captivates you. The canvas or paper becomes a living observation diary. That detailed close-up of the male's head stands out remarkably, where you have perfectly drawn that characteristic dark «mask» around the eye and that subtle tuft or small disheveled crest on the nape. The network of light and diffuse spots on the brown plumage (which gives it the name 'pardilla' - brownish) is resolved with a truly masterful delicacy in the watercolor transparencies.
The narrative value of the work is multiplied by the complementary anatomical and behavioral notes that dot the composition: sketches of birds in full flight, courtship scenes in the water, broken eggs in the nest, and the tender huddled chick, all enriched with your handwritten pencil annotations on its biology (such as silent flight or male courtship). It is a work that breathes the aroma of the Doñana marshes, field work with binoculars, and the passion for saving a species on the brink of extinction.
