“Legacy Still Life” by Salvador Zanor AKA Safr

Oil on linen canvas (30x40cm)

This still life assembles symbolic elements into a personal altar reflecting on memory, mortality, and identity. A brass flower inherited from the artist's grandmother casts a shadow forming the horns of a skull — a fusion of delicacy and death. Tattoo needles and burnt palo santo evoke ritual and transformation, while the presence of money adds a layer of tension between spiritual value and material power.

The composition navigates the dualities of the sacred and the profane, permanence and decay, suggesting that legacy is constructed from both inherited meaning and contemporary contradiction.
