Sottil's philosophy behind "Naturalismo" is the belief
that mother nature is the gift to humankind where all five senses
have the opportunity to interact simultaneously in perfect harmony.
The
two most common emotions that result from our exposure to mother
nature are intensity and serenity. This combination of values
happen simultaneously only in nature, this is what Sottil calls
"nature's chemistry".
INTENSITY
The
first challenge in his task to bring intensity to an art form,was
to come up with a technique that would achieve colors that would
change with the intensity of light as they do in nature.
SERENITY
In
order to achieve serenity Sottil goes around the world looking
for his subject matter in its natural habitat. This is how his
compositions are born.
