“Sentinel” by Salvador Zanor AKA Safr

A solitary figure emerges in profile—majestic, alert, and still. The greyhound’s gaze is unwavering, fixed on something beyond the frame, perhaps something only it can sense. Its posture speaks of quiet strength and dignity, while the deep blues and aggressive reds that slice through the background feel like the tension of a world in motion behind it.

The scarlet eye breaks the silence of the scene. It’s not just watching—it’s witnessing. The textured lines, the scratched layers, and the vibrant trails suggest history, struggle, and persistence. This is not merely a portrait of an animal—it’s a symbol of endurance, of presence in the storm, of seeing without surrendering.
