The art of Sanso belongs to a fantastic world. The flower compositions, the landscapes,
reveal a mysterious universe full of magic...It is this wonderment that gives his
paintings their beauty and renders them both unique and unforgettable.
— J. P. Crespelle/France-Soir
Starting from realistic designs of beautifully firm strokes, he creates visions
of nature yet unseen, where the accumulation of certain elements like spongy rocks,
mounds of stones, bamboo scaffoldings, from dream landscapes of singular greatness.
