Sanchez’s paintings often feature lush tropical forests, rivers, and solitary figures in contemplation, so we wondered what message he hopes viewers take away from them. “Indeed, small human figures in meditation frequently appear in my work. This aspect is recognized in my meditation practice as the concept of ‘The Witness.’ As a fundamental principle in my creations, I strive to express my relationship with nature, which involves comprehending its vastness in relation to human beings. I hope viewers can perceive this connection as well. Whenever I visit a forest, a lagoon, a waterfall, or other captivating natural places, I instantly enter a meditative state. My mind quiets, enabling me to experience emotions that bring profound peace and tranquility, even when I’m not actively meditating. My aspiration is for my work to transcend mere emotional responses to nature and encourage a deeper awareness of it, inspiring a desire to protect and respect it in all its immensity.”

When asked about the most challenging and enjoyable parts of his creative process, Sanchez shared that he enjoys the entire journey, from the initial ideas that arise during meditation to the final moments of completing a painting. “I spend long hours in front of a canvas, vehemently taking the composition and concept. My works are not random processes; they are very conscious, and I achieve this to a great extent through meditation. That final moment, just before a painting leaves my studio, is usually the most challenging for me because I never feel that the work is truly finished. I have read on several occasions that many painters throughout art history have experienced the same struggle with completing a work. I cannot attribute that doubt to the painting itself; rather, I believe something within me prevents me from recognizing its conclusion.”
