"Cupid Fails" by Salvador Zanor AKA Safr

Oil and permanent wax on Canson paper (A3)

A cold palette of blues, greys, and violets creates a quiet, suspended atmosphere. In the center, a red heart is held close—intact, but isolated—its warmth standing out against the muted background.

A vertical arrow cuts through the composition like a silent rupture. It doesn’t wound, but separates. The figure appears emptied out, yet the gesture suggests something remains: the space to feel again, even when love seems to have gone.

The image holds a delicate balance between clarity and confusion, showing that even in emotional stillness, something persists.
