Aldebaran is a symbolist painting by Brazilian artist Thales Pomb. A bull stands motionless on a canoe, guided across a dark sea by two barely visible rowers. Set against a heavy sky lit by fiery tones, the composition evokes ritual, mythology and migration. As with many of Pomb’s works, the scene feels suspended in time — a psychological tableau where presence and journey overlap. The title itself, referencing the brightest star in the Taurus constellation, reinforces the sense of celestial mystery.
