CONCEPT BEHIND combining 3 elements:
1 -Painting: Bull
2 -Tassels (red): tassels are a classic element in some shoes and by incorporating them to the bull's back they add meaning to the composition (blood/harm) while integrating the painting to the shoe.
3 -Del Toro's signature red band at the back of the shoe: the red band becomes symbolic of prohibition when brought to the front at a diagonal angle and placed across the bull.

OTHER WORKS AND COLLABORATIONS
The message behind this composition is a reflection of the artist's stance on not only bullfights, but cruelty to animals in general. And that was the source of inspiration.

Dianaya with dear friend and artist Pablo Carreño, a big hearted and trouble maker fellow with a long and prolific career. Although Dianaya works in a very private and secluded environment she very sporadically visits Pablo's studio to work simultaneously next to the truly talented, entering a world that few can experience.

Despite the apparent simplicity of Dianaya's artwork the mental process behind is very intense, immersing herself in a very intimate world where a mix of strong feelings, developed and carried along her life, fight to come out. The final result will most likely reveal some darkness and tenderness that emerges from a over perceptive, sensitive and therefore in some cases, uneasy mind.
In the Spaniard’s work the bull has a predominant presence but it does not always just represent this majestic animal, it also symbolizes every living being but the human.
Dianaya's painting process takes off with a set of random lines until there is a combination of lines that suggests an image in the artist's mind. Those lines are then emphasized, and stylized, rescuing a hidden figure by bringing it to the surface; giving meaning to the original lines.
