Description from the seller

​Title: "Toro: Power and Resilience" (2026)
Description:
Exclusively crafted in 2026, this contemporary sculpture by Vanessa Bonino is a powerful representation of primordial strength and geometric elegance. Made of patinated terracotta and mounted on a solid wood base, the artwork stands 35 cm tall. The dark, textured patina highlights the dynamic modeling of the bull, merging traditional clay techniques with a modern aesthetic. This unique piece (1/1) showcases the artist’s latest stylistic evolution. Signed by the artist. Certificate of Authenticity (COA) included.

................................. Italian version...............................
In questa scultura di Vanessa Bonino, la terracotta patinata si fa interprete di una forza monumentale e introspettiva. Il toro, figura centrale dell'immaginario dell'artista, è qui reso con una matericità densa e vibrante; la superficie, segnata da colpi decisi che richiamano la lavorazione plastica, cattura la luce rivelando una profonda vitalità interiore.
L'animale appare in un momento di quiete potente, una massa muscolare carica di energia trattenuta. Il contrasto materico tra la terracotta scura e la base in legno naturale eleva la figura, conferendole una dignità sacrale. L'opera non celebra solo la potenza fisica, ma una resilienza silenziosa e arcaica: una sintesi perfetta tra la terra plasmata e il calore organico del supporto, che trasforma il soggetto in un totem contemporaneo di rara intensità emotiva.

Verrà spedito all'interno di un solido involucro con certificato di autenticità firmato.
