Bull 2 Charcoal Animal Drawing

A bull materializes from vaporous charcoal and smoke, its mass pressed into the paper like a sudden, undeniable impulse, while the surrounding white space reads as both arena and silence. The restrained eruptions of red—more breath than blood—trace a halo of agitation, turning motion into emotion and transforming the animal into a vessel of charged instinct. Edges dissolve into looping, calligraphic trails, so the figure feels simultaneously present and vanishing, as if strength itself is an apparition. The composition holds a tense paradox: brute force rendered with tenderness, suggesting that power is most compelling when it trembles on the verge of disappearance.
