Horse Series 260 (Untamed Spirit)

A cobalt beast—part horse, part shadow—surges through a scaffold of hard-edged rectangles, as if the instinctual body is trying to outrun the grid that contains it. The deep blues are bruised with smoky blacks and scraped into translucent strata, lending the creature a weathered interiority, while abrupt notes of red, saffron, and pink read like alarms or signals puncturing the calm of monochrome order. Negative space is used less as emptiness than as a pressure field, tightening around the figure so its motion becomes psychological—an image of resilience strained against systems, memory, and noise. The painting holds a tense equilibrium between wildness and design, suggesting that freedom here is not escape, but the act of staying vivid within constraint.
