This exquisite dog by Rocío Fabián is covered from nose to tail in radiant sunbursts. Each leg, shoulder, and hip features a circular “solar” medallion, created from minute hand-painted lines, frets, and dots in warm shades of ochre, cinnamon, and soft cream.
The alert pose, with a high, curved tail and attentive ears, gives the piece a watchful, protective presence, as if the dog were guarding the home.
Look closely, and you’ll see how Rocío layers pre-Columbian-inspired patterns into every band of color, turning the coat into a tapestry of light and shadow. It’s a beautiful example of her meticulous style: refined, patient work that rewards you every time you pause to discover another detail.
