In this work, I wanted to portray the tense dialogue between man and his hidden animal nature. The young man appears before the viewer both defiant and vulnerable: his half-bare body and relaxed posture radiate confidence, yet his downcast eyes reveal inner struggle. Behind him stands the white bull — a symbol of untamed power, primal energy that both pressures and nourishes him. The contrast between the human and the beast is an eternal theme of art. In my interpretation, it becomes a scene of performance: there is no audience, but the very act of confrontation turns into art itself. Red highlights on the bull’s body and the background resemble the pulse of blood, the echo of an internal battle. Technical details: • Original acrylic painting on canvas. • Executed in impasto technique with expressive, textured brushstrokes. • Main palette: white, black, shades of pink, red, and golden ochre. • Size: (insert actual size of the painting). • Canvas stretched on a wooden frame, ready for display.
