Vanessa Bonino - Bull Strength

In this work, the artist Vanessa Bonino explores an unexpected contrast: the majestic power of the bull transposed into a pose of extreme delicacy. Despite the animal’s muscularity and imposing bulk, the bull appears almost unbalanced, suspended in a light movement that belies its heavy nature. This precarious stance, together with the choice of iridescent resin on a solid stone base, creates a visual short circuit between brute force and the fragility of a moment. The work thus becomes a metaphor for the grace that resides in strength, a subtle balance captured in a unique piece (1/1) of great emotive impact. Includes COA.

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 testify to a deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, where ancestral forms — such as the figure of the bull or the carp — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressionistic models full of dynamism. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the skilled use of color-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 steady rise in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by an ever stronger presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
