Stile pittorico
Il lavoro di Sanz trasmette un'aria moderna e rinfrescante, mescolando una composizione squisita con una tecnica raffinata e una speciale padronanza del colore e della luce. Stampa una pennellata moderna e originale che riesce a riflettere magistralmente gli effetti della luce, che diventa il protagonista dei suoi dipinti.
Nel suo volto di ritrattista, dimostra intuizione psicologica e una pennellata precisa ed elegante che immerge il suo lavoro in un'atmosfera di naturalezza.
