Vanessa Bonino - Bull-bronze effect

Vanessa Bonino's work is an intense terracotta wall sculpture depicting the head of a bull with vibrant plastic realism. The skilled use of cold patination gives the surface a suggestive verdigris green coloration, enriched by warm golden reflections that enhance its volumes and anatomical details.
​The gaze of the animal is proud and magnetic, captured in an expression of quiet yet powerful energy. Bonino works the material with vigor, alternating polished surfaces with rougher textures on the top of the head, creating a tactile contrast that makes the piece both archaic and contemporary at the same time.

Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist whose current research focuses on the plastic force of material sculpture. Trained in the cultural fervor of Turin, Bonino has evolved her eclectic style toward an original synthesis between ceramic tradition and digital languages.
​Her latest productions attest to deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, where ancestral forms — such as the bull or the carp figure — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressive, dynamic-imbued modes. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the skilled use of changing cold patinas and glazed glassy finishes, capable of transforming earth into surfaces vibrant with light and color.
​Addressing themes related to nature and the metamorphosis of matter, Bonino creates works that are at once solid and fluid, inviting the viewer to reflect on the boundary between the archaic and the future. Her rising prominence in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by a steadily stronger presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts."
