Los Toros
This series 'Los Toros' was inspired by the ongoing debate on the 'Bullfight" the pros and the cons.
Having Grown up in Spain, i do feel that it is somewhere part of my upbringing, culture and tradition. On the other hand, i also see it as brutality, I have tried to capture the beauty of the bullfight, the feeling, the work that goes into the embroidery of the Matadors clothing. I see the dance between the beast and the man, the beautiful colors, the movement, the strength and stealth of the bull, compared to the almost frail body of man. Above all i try to 'Romanticise' something that in reality is rather brutal.
