“Old Max” by Salvador Zanor AKA Safr

Oil and spray on linen, (40×50 cm)

A chihuahua poses with a proud expression inside a ceramic planter. The scene blends tenderness and solemnity, as if it were a classical bust sculpted in fur and glaze. The tight framing, the restrained palette, and the architectural rigidity of the container highlight the contrast with the animal’s lively expression. The painting feels like a tribute to a quiet, domestic figure—elevating its presence to that of a symbol or everyday relic.
