About the Item
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of an 18th-century-style portrait featuring a regal dog. Poised at attention, the canine exudes an air of majesty, adorned with a splendid blue collar that accentuates its noble bearing.

His artistic repertoire is characterized by a meticulous exploration of iconography and symbolism, echoing the traditions of the past while infusing them with a modern sensibility. Through his art, Santos invites viewers on a journey into the realms of allegory and metaphor, where each stroke is a thoughtful homage to the mastery of bygone eras. In seamlessly blending classical techniques with contemporary perspectives, Fidel Santos creates evocative artworks that resonate with both historical depth and contemporary relevance.
