REFLECTIONS OF FEAR
Oil on canvas 80x60
At the heart of this evocative painting, two majestic horses emerge with both strength and grace, their presence magnetic—a celebration of unyielding determination and noble spirit. Their powerful strides stir a swirling cloud of dust that dances in the wake of their passage, as if the very earth vibrated beneath their hooves.
In the background, delicate hues of pink-orange and aqua green blend into a dreamlike canvas, evoking the quiet beauty of a sunset sky intertwined with feelings of wonder and unease. Subtle, pearlescent nuances whisper of ambivalence—a fragile balance between serene calm and simmering tension that enlivens the scene.
Yet, as if cast by an unseen hand, shadowy forms encircle these galloping giants. Roughly sketched and filled with turbulent emotion, these spectral figures manifest the deep anxieties and fears that reside within us all. They seem determined to hold back the courageous horses, symbolizing the ghosts of suffering, doubt, and fear that sometimes threaten to overwhelm our inner strength.
In this stirring interplay between light and shadow, movement and stillness, the painting invites us to confront our own internal battles, urging us to acknowledge that even amidst fear, there exists a relentless drive toward freedom and hope.
