AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This wooden sculpture by Vanessa Bonino captures the dynamic, vibrant essence of the bull, embodying a profound symbol of creative power, vital energy, and unwavering determination. Its forward-leaning posture and musculature carved in wood evoke physical strength and the instinctive drive to overcome every obstacle, while the choice of wood and the blue-green hues lend the work an earthy, grounded quality. The bull thus becomes an emblem of indomitable courage, transforming living material into a powerful totem of resilience and inner stability.
It will be shipped in sturdy protective packaging with a certificate of authenticity.

Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist in constant
evolution, committed to continuous innovation and experimentation with ever-new materials, ranging from terracotta to ceramics, plaster, and reclaimed materials.
At the heart of her entire body of work stands the bull, her defining subject and the leitmotif of her sculptural practice. This powerful ancestral figure is continually reinvented through a process of progressive stylization: from expressive features to rigorous low-poly geometric deconstructions, and on to increasingly conceptual forms. The bull thus becomes the ultimate symbol of metamorphosis, embodying a primordial force charged with profound existential meaning and intense visual energy.
The artist’s distinctive style is expressed through iridescent cold patinas, metallic finishes, and vitreous glazes that make the surfaces shimmer with light. Poised between the archaic and the future, her works attest to her growing presence in exhibition spaces and private collections.

Seller's Story

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 bull or the carp — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressionist, highly dynamic sculptures. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the expert 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 firmer presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
