Vanessa Bonino - Geometric Bull - bronze effect

Vanessa Bonino’s work is a powerful formal synthesis that depicts a bull in dynamic tension. Made in terracotta, the sculpture deceives the eye thanks to a masterful cold patina that reproduces the oxidation of ancient bronze. The body, with geometries almost cubist, concentrates mass into an imposing hunch, a symbol of primal strength. The surface is richly tangible, full of grooves and ridges that vibrate under the light, while the green color gives it a totemic and timeless look. It is a dialogue between earth and metal, where animal vigor becomes monumental and vibrant art.

Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist whose current research focuses on the plastic force of tactile 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 a deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, where ancestral forms — such as the bull or the carp — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressionist shapes full of dynamism. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the deft use of changing cold patinas and vitreous glazes, able to transform 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 growing presence in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by an increasingly solid footprint in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
