About the artwork
A commanding bull anchors this vibrant composition, its semi-abstract form a testament to raw power and kinetic energy. The creature's head and shoulders, rendered with bold strokes and impasto textures, fill the canvas, horns thrusting skyward in a display of untamed might. Though its gaze is not explicitly defined, an implicit connection is forged with the viewer. A symphony of reds, oranges, and yellows intertwines with cooler blues and greens, creating a visually arresting and almost primal palette.
