Bullfight Paintings
Bullfight is a very delicate and sensitive subject, and I don’t really like to speak or write about it: too many bad experiences, too many offences caused, too much hysteria and intolerance. An old Spanish lady even said to me once: “You should be hanged for making bullfight paintings!”
In 2009 I was interviewed by a Danish journalist researching into bullfight. Here is perhaps the most interesting question concerning my bullfighting art:
“…As an artist, why, when and how did you decide to specialize in bullfighting?…”

The bullfight paintings presented in this gallery, and many more, are available directly online as Giclee print in many different dimensions, on paper or canvas, and also as greeting cards, in my FAA Gallery. Please press the button below to access it.
The Giclee prints from the above mentioned Online shop are manufactured in the USA and sent directly to the client from there. For personal or financial reasons it might not be appropriate for everybody to order their prints in the USA. Also, you might prefer to purchase my Giclee prints hand-signed. If so, you can alternatively order directly from me. Simply contact me indicating which painting you are interested in and in which size. Go to Goodaboom Boutique to see a guideline of pricing for different dimensions.
… It was not really a decision. I never decide to paint anything. I kind of „sail with the wind of my passions and desires“. If I remember well, I started painting sport themes, and it was a logical continuation of it as I arrived in Spain. But I never really wanted to specialise in bullfight, it happened naturally. There were always more people interested in buying my bullfight paintings, and of course I then had to paint more and more. There were even times when I in fact thought that I didn’t want to do it anymore, I didn’t want to be labelled as a „bullfight painter“, and see me confined to painting bulls and bullfighters until the end of my life!
I love diversity, in life and in art, I get easily bored, and I do need to change my themes, techniques, etc. quite often (which explains the extreme diversity of my work).
But somehow I always manage to come back to my love for bullfight painting, and regularly have periods of some weeks when I paint only them, but then stop for a long while again…”
If you want to read the whole interview, it is published in my “Amour Toro” blog.
Some of my bull paintings in acrylics, gouache and watercolour are still available as originals. Please get in touch if you wish to purchase one of them or need info.
You can also order a copy of one of them in the size and technique you wish, commission a new one from your favourite bullfight photo, or buy a series of wonderful bullfight greeting cards.
