The Silent Bull
Artwork details
The Silent Bull is an original 2026 artwork that merges two Iberian symbols: the bull and the Portuguese tile (azulejo).
A black bull, powerful and silent, emerges from a background of distressed blue and beige vintage tiles. Created with image transfer on wood, giving it a cracked, wall-like texture full of history.
Real fragments of blue and white Portuguese azulejo tiles are applied in relief on the surface, coming out of the painting. Some whole, some broken, like memories from an old wall. They create a real shadow play that changes with the light.
Not a fighting bull, but a bull that watches. Strong yet calm.
