In Perfil de torero, Cirilasso distills the essence of bullfighting into a single, monumental sign. The composition, dominated by gold and earthy tones, abstracts the profile of the matador’s head into a hieroglyphic form, turning a figure of flesh into a symbol carved in memory. The rough surface and metallic luminosity evoke both the splendor of the bullfighting tradition and the erosion of time. This piece exemplifies his ability to transform personal identity into universal iconography.
