I tell you in short my professional development: My passion for nature starts in Cadiz (Andalucia) when I was thirteen years old. Amazed at the richness and abundance of wild life of that zone, I spent many years walking in woods and marshes, where I started to watch and make sketches of Avocets, Spoonbills, Flamingos and other different birds wich can be found in these lands forming inmense flocks and colonies. ....................... Since then I dedicate my professional career to nature watching as well as to my work as an illustrator for different magazines and publishing houses. This made me travel to Madrid to finish my studies of Biology. ......................... My works have been published for seventeen years in the most prestigious publishers and magazines in Spain. I have done many wildlife paintings shows ( pionner of this genre in Spain ), collaborated in wildlife TV documentaries, worked in the National Park of Doñana, travelled twice to the Amazone Forest, USA, Pacific Islands, North Africa, Scotland..., always looking for subjects and magic lights for my paintings. All of my last shows have finished with all the paintings sold. Now, I'm selling my artwork all over the world and my paintings are in private collections of USA, Canada, Spain, Germany and England. -------------------------- Manuel Sosa.1998 "La Pedriza" Natural Park Madrid Spain . -------------------------- For more information, please, contact with the author at: E_mail : manuelsosa@altavista.net Thanks for your visit.
