About this artwork
This ceramic sculpture is a powerful expression of my "Modern Archaism" style. It serves as a contemporary totem, bridging the gap between ancient nomadic energy and modern artistic form.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON COMMISSIONS: The original piece shown in the photographs has been sold. However, I am offering this work as a made-to-order commission.
Each bull is hand-built by me from scratch. While I will maintain the same proportions, spirit, and fiery… orange-to-charcoal glaze transition, the nature of ceramic art ensures that every new piece is unique. The hand-engraved archaic symbols and the final "shamanic arrow" marks will have their own distinct character.
Technique: Hand-built ceramics, multi-layered glazing.
Features: Integrated metal nose ring and symbolic engravings.
Production time: Please allow 3-4 weeks for the sculpting, drying, and double-firing process before shipping.
