"Through the Storm" / 'Grace and Power' art series
"When I painted this picture, I aimed to capture the wild and pure energy of the horse. Every brushstroke in the painting tries to express the fizz of movement and life. The interplay of colors, the golden lights, and the balance of deep shadows are meant to depict the dynamic and unstoppable spirit of the horse. This work celebrates the powerful and independent beauty of nature." – Andrew Manaylo
"This painting features an exciting and dynamically depicted horse, characterized by sharp movements and a free spirit. The representation of the horse's body is powerful, with a detailed rendering of its muscles and actions. The abstract treatment of the background, dominated by shades of green, blue, and yellow, contrasts with the horse’s warmer tones of brown and gold, further emphasizing the figure's movement and energy.
The brushstrokes are vigorous and sensitively handle light, which seems to dance around the horse’s contours, highlighting its strength and speed. The play of colors and textures together create a striking visual experience that captivates the viewer." – Noble Art Nexus, Budapest / Sanremo / Boston
