 Critics of Sanchez's work like Manuel Baquerizo say that Sanchez strives to create a total composition using popular art forms, where the art is characterized by the minimalist usage and perspective of carved gourds (mates burilados), amalgamating both local and universal values with Sanchez's conception of the native and western worlds.The fundamental characteristic of Sanchez's work is how it is rooted in the artisan work of the natives of Mantaro Valley and regions of the South Andean world.
