The Toro Rojo is an homage to the tenacity of bulls and their struggle to survive - not to the practice of bull-running. This piece aspires to capture the beauty, the movement, the power and the courage of the bulls. The crimson colour represents the bullring where these majestic creatures meet an untimely end, losing their lives for sport. Bronze is the perfect medium to showcase the the bulls' resilient nature, compounded in the tensed muscles of the bull. The thick base of this work seeks to carry the bull away to safety while at the same time giving it a stark foundation to support it against those who seeks to wound it. I offer my art in the hope that it may serve to inspire people to protect these animals, so that their lives may no longer treated so callously.

What I feel lies at the core of my artistry is the extraordinary power to act directly on the senses and to express ideas and feelings that would otherwise be impossible to communicate in words. Shape is manipulated to capture movement, softness and fluidity within a piece, and in doing so I leave marks and textures on the surface as visible preservations of life hewn into pieces during their creation. Some marks are stark and bold against the surface, others subtle and fragile – this is something that continually fascinates me about the artistic process; the capacity to capture and immortalise any moment in time with a gentle touch. My art is a reflection of my passion, given shape and brought to life through visually aesthetic and starkly presented bronzes and colours, allowing any viewer to connect to a vast library of profound and varied sentiment with remarkable ease. My artistic background is not limited to sculptural expression; I have also worked extensively in painting and jewellery design. I learned the secrets of sculpting with Alicia Tafur, widely recognised as one of the few Latin American Masters of Art, where I grew to understand how to infuse my work with expression and energy. My sculptural style is a mixture of the traditional and the contemporary, less insistent on a theory of ideal proportions, while at the same time being strong, passionate and rich in movement. These characteristics are exposed in my collection ‘The Passion for Movement’.
