Original artwork description:

I wanted to capture a sense of quiet introspection and deep emotion in this painting, allowing the viewer to feel the soul of the horse beyond its physical form. I chose a white horse with a slightly unkempt mane, its gaze lowered as if lost in thought. This horse is more than just an animal—it is a symbol of resilience, gentleness, and the weight of history.

In terms of technique, I used bold brushstrokes and layered colors to create a rich texture, emphasizing the horse’s presence. The dark background enhances the dramatic contrast, making the white of the horse stand out while adding depth and dimension. The bridle, painted with striking reds and blacks, not only adds complexity to the composition but also draws the viewer’s attention toward the horse’s face.

I deliberately left some rough, expressive strokes to maintain a raw, unpolished authenticity, allowing the painting to breathe with emotion. This is more than just a portrait of a horse—it is a reflection of freedom, contemplation, and the profound weight of existence.
