The presented painting titled. "Race" is a dynamic, figurative and monumental composition showing galloping horses in full rush - a symbol of strength, competition, freedom and unbridled energy.
The artist builds up the form with broad, decisive brushstrokes and a clear texture of paint, achieving the effect of intense movement and compositional tension. The silhouettes of the animals intermingle and overlap, creating a compact, rhythmic structure that almost "comes out" towards the viewer.
The color scheme of the painting is based on warm tones of ochre and broken yellows, contrasting with dynamic accents of red, white and gray, which enhances the impression of speed and drama of the scene. The background has been constructed synthetically, without a literal landscape, so that all the attention is focused on the expression of movement and tension between the horse figures.
The work is an example of the artist's mature style, in which realistic representation of form is combined with painterly expression and strong gesture, characteristic of his animalistic work.
The authenticity of the work is confirmed by photographs taken directly in the artist's studio.
