Bull 23

Rendered in stark black and white, the bovine visage becomes both icon and terrain—its dense stippled hide reads like a living topography, while the horns, banded with emphatic stripes, assert a quiet, ceremonial authority. The mask-like geometry at the forehead fractures identity into patterned fragments, suggesting lineage, domestication, and myth braided into a single presence. Surrounding ornamental motifs hover like a border of memory, pressing the animal inward as if the “portrait” were also an altar, poised between tenderness and power in the clean silence of negative space.
