The figure is constructed from an expressive framework of wire with modeled resin worked throughout, creating an open, web-like surface with remarkable depth and movement.

Finished in warm metallic gold and bronze tones, the sculpture has a distinctly Brutalist character. The irregular construction gives the bull an almost skeletal quality while retaining its powerful stance, lowered head, horns, and expressive anatomical form.

Mounted on a rectangular wood base, the piece combines traditional Spanish bull imagery with the experimental materials and abstraction associated with mid-century European decorative sculpture. A striking object for Brutalist, Spanish Modern, organic modern, and mid-century modern interiors.
