In Toreros azul, Cirilasso employs a raw, gestural style to reinterpret the figure of the bullfighter through a spectral, almost skeletal visage. The dominance of blue tones suggests mysticism and melancholy, while the rough brushstrokes reflect the tension and brutality inherent to the bullring. The central figure is surrounded by fragmented faces, evoking the frozen collective memory of an audience. This piece exemplifies the artist’s ability to bridge personal experience with universal emotion, turning the canvas into an arena of symbolic confrontation.
