TOMAS SANCHEZ
born 1948, Cienfuegos

Part of his very recognisable work are botanically truthful paintings, surreal in their symbolism. They are of dense growth with gnarled roots, suffocating moss and gnarled vines, often contrasting to still bodies of waters. Painted not from direct observation but from his imagination. A true giant of contemporary art in the Americas.
You'll find his work at the Marlborough Gallery, at auctions by Sotheby's and Christie's where he always donates work for charities and causes.
