‘‘ SUNSET ’’

Oil on canvas, 50x70

This painting captures the essence of a rich and complex emotional journey. At its center stands a majestic horse, rendered in vibrant hues of brown, azure, and orange, its black mane swirling like an untamed dance. Behind, an evocative sunset with shimmering water reflections sets a tranquil stage, while bold splashes of red and azure along the edges evoke delicate petals—a visual metaphor for emotions in full bloom.

Originally inspired by the presence of three horses, these elements have merged into a singular, dynamic entity that embodies the intricate tapestry of lived experiences and the nuanced rhythms of the heart. What makes this work truly unique is its creation process: with no brushes at hand, I turned to an everyday kitchen knife—the only tool available—to sculpt the vibrant colors onto the canvas. This unconventional method not only adds texture and depth but also symbolizes the raw, unfiltered impulse to express and transform inner turmoil into beauty.
