Original artwork description:

This captivating work features a bull in action, captured in dynamic and energetic movement. The canvas is dominated by shades of blue, creating a vibrant atmosphere that contrasts with the bull’s auburn silhouette. Each brushstroke reveals the meticulous texture and depth of the colours used, adding movement and life to the subject. The animal’s outstretched legs and slender posture suggest a scene of power and freedom. The frame, made up of alternating squares in different shades of blue, perfectly frames the central image, adding a dimension of rhythm and structure to the composition. The blue hues of the background resemble an ethereal sky or a rolling sea, reinforcing the sense of lightness and vigour. The use of marbled hues and layering techniques in the paint provide a sense of depth and three-dimensionality. This work is not only a realistic representation but a painterly celebration of strength and energy. The stylized representation of the bull, almost floating in an indefinite space, attracts the eye and evokes a feeling of elevation. The artist succeeds here in capturing not only the image of a bull but the very essence of its vigor and majesty. This combination of abstract style and symbolic representation makes it a unique and unforgettable painting.
