Vanessa Bonino - Strength balance Bull

This work by Vanessa Bonino, realized in MDF and acrylic, transforms the figure of the bull into a powerful symbol of primordial energy and resilience. The silhouette, rendered three-dimensionally by the mounting, emerges with vigor from a vibrant gold background, creating a stark contrast between the sacredness of light and the solidity of matter.
The bull is not here merely an animal, but the embodiment of inner strength and determination. The charged posture, with the head lowered and the musculature tensed, suggests a push toward self-assertion and overcoming obstacles. The dark, material color of the figure recalls the earth and concreteness, while the surrounding gold elevates the subject to an almost mythological icon of power and spiritual rebirth.

Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist whose current research concentrates 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 bear witness to a deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, where ancestral forms — such as the bull figure or the carp — are reinterpret ed through low-poly geometries or expressionist models full of dynamism. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the skilled use of shifting cold patinas and vitreous glazes, 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 constant ascent in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by an increasingly solid presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
