Description:
A striking monochrome work, Alberos XVI captures a moment of high tension between horse, rider, and bull — rendered with an expressive, almost cinematic intensity. Unlike the vibrant ochres and reds of Guirado’s other Spanish heritage pieces, this one is executed in black and sepia tones, evoking the rawness and stark drama of traditional Spanish bull culture.

This scene speaks to Guirado’s deep reverence for Spain’s rural history and the symbolic duality of man and beast — themes that permeate much of his figurative work.
