Max Hamlet Sauvage is a versatile artist who uses different modes of expression to create visionary art, often provocative, that reflects on the contemporary human condition with intelligence and sensuality.
Create art that blends Surrealism, Pop Art, and Street Art, defined by some as "pop surrealism" or "neosurrealism," using painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography to create works rich in symbols, anthropomorphic and dreamlike figures, often with the aim of social critique through visionary and grotesque metaphors of contemporary society.

Main features
Inspired Style: It draws inspiration from surrealist masters such as Dalí, De Chirico, and Magritte, but revisits it in a more modern and cartoonish light.
> Themes: Explore the metaphysical unknown, the unconscious, the female body, eroticism, and critique of industrialized society and its "spiritual decadence".
Distinctive Iconography: His frequent 'zoo-anthropomorphic' figures (mythological and hybrid) denounce hypocrisy and social corruption with irony and sarcasm.
> Mixed Techniques: Work with different materials (marble, bronze, terracotta, wood, clay) for sculptures and paintings, as well as photography and collage, mixing high- and lowbrow codes.
Context: He is considered an artist who combines intellectualism, irony, and technical wisdom, playing between the real and the unreal to prompt humanity to reflect.
