“Milton Sosa's creative discourse, heterogeneous in its language/expressive ways, bets on contrasting colors, attention to detail, compositional richness and a deeply exquisite technique. In his style, he mingles in synchronous dialogue between photography and video forms. The images advocate for symmetry, refined beauty of forms, unique framing and contrasts between lights and shadows. The audiovisuals, seductive in their interplay of image and sound, draw on their photographic aesthetics, yet never cease to transmit their content through meticulous staging, narration and characterization of the cast. Milton Sosa’s work, conceptually permeated by contemporary codes, has the ability and power to trigger truly delectable encounters with art.”
