Painting description

In this extraordinarily colorful painting we see the figure of a woman in a hat embracing a horse. She is surrounded by vivid hues—greens, blues, oranges—and the composition is full of dynamic lines. The painting suggests motion, as if the moment were fleeting. The mood feels fairy-tale-like and carefree, like a childhood memory of sun-drenched days. The artist has used a technique similar to Cubism, with distinct edges and large patches of color. This style adds lightness to the work and a sense that we are in a small, magical world. As I look at it, I can’t help but smile, because it reminds me of how I used to play years ago with colorful wooden building blocks. The viewer may feel as if they’ve found themselves in a dreamland where anything is possible. Wow, horsey! The painting radiates joy and warmth, yet also conceals certain mysteries—everyone can see something different in it. In this explosion of colors you can feel a certain eccentricity, freedom, as if the artist were saying: “Allow yourself to dream.”
