The painting depicts a horse and its young, their forms stretched and elongated until they slip into abstraction. By pushing the shapes and limbs beyond realism, the figures take on a myth-like quality, less about literal anatomy and more about essence. The work sits with the idea that a child is both an extension and an echo of its parent, just as we carry traces of those who came before us. Each generation repeats, refracts, and reshapes what it inherits.

This piece is acrylic on canvas, measuring roughly 50 × 70 cm. The process shown here reflects how I usually work, though it is never fixed. I start with instinct and structure, then respond to what the painting asks for as it develops. Accentuating form is a way of searching for power, elegance, and clarity, but it is also part of an ongoing process of learning. Each painting teaches me something new, and this work sits very much within that space of growth and exploration.
