This work transforms the symbolic and expressive power of the original into a unique three-dimensional composition, in which each figure acquires volume, presence, and drama through angular forms, tense planes, and sharp contours that intensify the narrative of pain and resistance. The group maintains the mural's central elements—the bull, the wounded horse, the mother with her child, the burning figure—now presented as individual sculptures that, when brought together, reconstruct the scene with a new visual energy. The metal surfaces display a palette of satiny and dark grays that directly evoke the original painting. One of the figures is signed with the initials "AB," and the group was handcrafted at the end of the 20th century. A work of strong historical and emotional significance, conceived as a sculptural homage to one of the fundamental pieces of 20th-century art.
