José Fernando Potier ~ President of the Associação Nacional de Grupos de Forcados

[ There are feelings that only the artists can represent.
Bullfighting is an art and an inspiration to those that, by spirit, genius and art can pass it on.
Any kind of bullfighting, in all of its different ways, can only convert the most complex movements in easy ones, full of emotion and rhythm, when is well interpreted, which only happens when its done by the most capable ones.
The eminent danger that is present in all kinds of bullfighting only results in absolute triumph when the artist executes with the mastery of predestined.
Painting, in its different styles, also gets from bullfighting the passion of those that, with their soul, can represent it in the most sublime way.
With no doubt, the colors, the forms, the expression of the movements of a painting only fulfills us when we get the passion beyond it. Only then there are shared feelings that only the artists can represent. ]
