‘ACROBAT AND BULL’

The Bull is a recurring theme in my work, and I've explored it in many pieces and many mediums over the years. In this series of works, the Bull figure is a dominant shape that fills the canvas, creating a frame within a frame. This composition draws the viewer's eye into the painting and leads it through the surrounding shapes. The theme explores the relationship between humans and nature, touching on social and psychological aspects. Geometry plays a key role in my paintings, helping to create balance and guide the viewer's eye. This approach allows me to work on both large and small canvases, using each to balance the other. It is closely related to my ‘Bull-Drawings’ and “Acrobats’ drawing series, as well as the series of sculptural forms that can be seen in ‘The Bull Sculpture’.
