Dimensions and Technique: 56″ × 68″ – Acrylic on Canvas
Original Work by Bello
La Musa del Gallo is a commanding large-format painting where Bello unites the elegance of classical portraiture with the symbolic presence of the rooster, a recurring archetype in his visual language. The work features a serene female figure rendered with meticulous, almost sculptural precision, contrasted against the powerful form of an oversized rooster whose feathers and textures unfold in intricate detail. The composition balances strength and delicacy, creating an atmosphere that is both ceremonial and contemplative.
The artist’s restrained grayscale palette, accented by a subtle golden element, amplifies the contrast between tradition and mysticism. The interplay of textures—smooth skin, layered fabric, and the rooster’s elaborate plumage—demonstrates Bello’s mastery of acrylic technique, allowing the viewer to appreciate the structural and symbolic depth embedded in the scene.
This piece reflects themes of guardianship, ritual, and artistic musehood, presenting the rooster not merely as an animal but as a spiritual sentinel. The scale of the canvas (56″ × 68″) enhances the immersive quality of the work, making it a statement piece for collectors who appreciate both fine craftsmanship and evocative narrative imagery.
