Juan Félix Sánchez, the Giant of the Tisure

Juan Félix Sánchez, El Gigante del Tisure


Author / Autor: Eduardo Planchart Licea


In a world where man faces difficulties and adversities in realizing his dreams, where horizons have been made obscure in the face of modernism, there emerges an individual who has acquired the understanding to surmount adversity. Silently and without fanfare the artist, Juan Félix Sánchez, has created a gigantic work, somewhat primitive, full of expression and unusual sentiment, the topic of this book.
His ten calvary sculptures make up a harmonic group, expressing an exquisite, artistic sensitivity difficult to surpass--he makes no attempt to copy another nor follow a trend. Félix Sánchez has created something with his own personality that has been impregnated with a simple mysticism because he is a true artist (without calling him a genius, a nomenclature often too liberally applied).

En un mundo donde el hombre efrenta dificultades y adversidades en la realización de sus aspiraciones, donde los horizontes se oscureces frente al modernismo, un individuo emerge con la comprensión y la determinación para combatir las adversidades. Calladamente y sin ruido el artista Juan Féliz Sánchez, creó un un trabajo gigantesco, algo primitivo, lleno de expresión y de profundo sentimiento.
Sus diez esculturas del calvario son un grupo armónico, expresivo, artisticamente exquisito y sensitivo, dificil de igualar. Felix Sánchez no trata de imitar a nadie lo que crea refleja su personalidad impregnada de misticismo que solamente posee un artista verdadero, sin necesidad de llamarlo genio, palabra usada a menudo con demasiada facilidad.
