Title: Linda Hortobagyi | 'The Bull 2' | Acrylic On Heavy Weight Paper | Original
The Bull 2 is a bold, expressive abstract painting inspired by the creative energy of Pablo Picasso and the power of artistic intuition.
Following a visit to a Picasso exhibition at Tate Modern, Linda Horto felt compelled to paint, allowing the experience to influence her work without any predetermined subject in mind. Through spontaneous movement and gestural mark-making, the form of a bull gradually emerged, almost as though the painting were guiding itself.
Set against a striking pink background, energetic black brushstrokes, sweeping curves and intricate markings create a dynamic composition. The bull's form is suggested rather than defined, emerging from a lively interplay of abstract shapes, layered gestures and expressive lines.
The second work in a two-piece series, The Bull 2 follows an earlier, more colourful interpretation of the same subject. Here, Linda explores the inspiration through a more restrained palette, allowing the contrast between vibrant pink and dramatic black to take centre stage.
Celebrating spontaneity, creative freedom and the unexpected nature of inspiration, The Bull 2 captures the moment when an artist lets go of control and allows the artwork to reveal itself.

Linda Horto (Linda Hortobagyi) is a London-based contemporary abstract artist whose vibrant, expressive paintings explore the relationship between colour, energy and emotional wellbeing.
Working primarily in acrylics, Linda draws inspiration from Feng Shui, meditation and ancient Eastern philosophies. Her intuitive creative process combines flowing, Tai Chi-inspired movements with layered compositions and bold colour palettes, creating works that celebrate harmony, movement and connection.
Each painting begins with a moment of meditation, allowing intention and emotion to guide the creative process. Through her distinctive approach, Linda seeks to transform colour and movement into visual experiences that inspire positivity, reflection and a sense of balance.
Her work brings together contemporary abstraction and holistic traditions, inviting viewers to connect with art on both a visual and emotional level.
Linda's artistic practice also extends to large-scale public art. She was selected to contribute to Pride in the Quarter, a public art trail featuring 17 individually designed lion sculptures displayed across central London during the summer football season. The project received coverage from BBC News, highlighting the celebration of art, culture and community in the capital.
