The lyric of this teacher of vocation, at the time Favorite Son of his hometown and President-founder in the same of the entity that will start there by October 18, 2003, the Literary Association "Las Torres", is a exaltation of Nature, an apotheosis of sun and light as a constellation of elements, as ingredients used by the vate to offer the reader the dimension of man, of the meaning of life through a message of solidarity, social, humanist, In one word.
And it is that Salvador Sandoval is an example of mastery, subtleties, virtuosity, fine and sensitive language, clean and skillful style, philosophy, spiritual vein, distilled depth with the pounding of the soul and the forceful force of noble heart that lives in the being of the writer torreño.
The work of the distinguished poet, recognized, for example, in a large squad of awards collected in literary competitions throughout the Spanish geography, is characterized by its expressive sharpness, oozing fragrant realism, firm verb, objective pulse, .. Poetry, that of Salvador Sandoval, which is a showcase of life, "leafy and cordial matter, lit, Horacian, healing, docile, of infinite clarity, endearing and overflowing" that defined another Murcian creative preacher as Francisco Sánchez Bautista.
Salvador silently observes everyday reality with that personal and penetrating vision of those who vibrate with aspects that go unnoticed to the rest of mortals.
In the verses of Sandoval the imagination, the lucidity, the sensitivity to abundance proliferate in correct proportion, ... It is Mediterranean poetry to the core, full of color, luminosity, diafanity of sensations, preciousness in universe of places, environments, of landscapes sung and narrated in stanzas of warmth and strength on par.
Roads, villages, men, footprints, sun of rabid effulgence, passion for their land, homage to the property, roots or that phonetic water suggestive, suggestive and linked to our identity marking and conditioning the people who inhabit this Region, its physiognomy, his spirit, that telluric love itself, ..., they all proclaim a kaleidoscope of sounds, of aesthetic concerns, of visions, of scenarios with which Salvador Sandoval claims, verbalizes the beauty of poetry in that serene look of life on the whole.
The Torreño writer does not stick to any specific poetic movement because Sandoval is the one who sets the course of his own work.
Those of us who have the privilege of having their works in our hands can affirm that these creations in verse need to be read horizontally, without dots or commas, so that it is the reader who sets the standard for reading and shudders with those words full of content That sound new again and again.
We can say that Salvador Sandoval has already become, in his own right, an immortal, consecrated author and his literary production is a real luxury for poetry lovers.
