We reached out to Vorja Sánchez to learn more about his creative process and his work. The way he blends nature with surreal elements is fascinating, so we were curious to know what inspires his artistic style. “Those photographs of fog, clouds, and other elements subtly enhanced with drawing—they’re essentially playful experiments, a delightful diversion that lets me give tangible form to the images you might imagine when you catch sight of an intriguing cloud. It’s a beautiful game we all once played, gazing up at the sky.”

According to Sánchez, “Interventions” simply emerge from observation and an intuitive process. “Typically, these are landscapes from my surroundings—sometimes even the mountains I encounter on my hikes. There isn’t a deliberate search for the ‘perfect’ location; rather, the clouds decide for themselves. When I see the fog beginning to condense in an interesting way, I watch and wait until a cloud forms a magical interplay with a mountain—that’s the perfect moment to capture the scene.

Moreover, this technique, being quite different from my usual methods, offers a refreshing break—a playful experiment of sorts.”

Many of Sánchez’s pieces blur the lines between the natural world and fantasy. With this in mind, we asked what message he hopes viewers take away from his art. “Like many people, I simply love nature. I’ve always felt a deep connection to it and relish learning and exploring what lies beyond the visible through my own creative language. This blend is born purely out of my personal passion—nothing more.I’ve never intended to send a direct message. Much like a painting or a film that invites you to dive deeper into its layers, my work is meant to expose a scene or a situation imbued with my essence—one that you are free to make your own. This way of engaging with art may invite reflection, maybe not! Ultimately, my only aim is to give form to what truly captivates me.”

The artist shared that along his creative journey, he has faced many challenges. “In the art world, you often have to improvise, dare, adjust, and experiment; there’s no single right way to do things, and every path is uniquely personal. Even on the logistical side, I find myself inventing new solutions to overcome obstacles along the way.“On the flip side, his creative process has also brought many rewarding moments, with the greatest reward for Sánchez being the freedom to create. “A few years ago, I decided to invest fully in my own work, shedding any filters that might constrain my studio process. I stopped taking commissions and began focusing solely on creating my own pieces. Working full-time with this kind of freedom, despite the effort and occasional risks it entails, is incredibly fulfilling. I’m truly grateful to be able to do what I love.”
