Description

This artwork portrays an Arabian white horse standing firmly amidst a blazing scene of sand that seems to boil and swirl with waves of color, as if the very earth beneath him pulses with restless, untamed energy. The atmosphere is engulfed in a fiery red glow, symbolizing the inner turbulence of life and the challenges that surround human existence.

Despite the chaos, the Arabian horse stands in quiet composure, head held high, gaze steady toward the horizon, exuding confidence and serenity. There is no trace of fear or hesitation; instead, his stance tells a story of patience, endurance, and strength in the heart of the storm.

The scene becomes a metaphor for resilience amid life’s hardships, and for the power of confronting turmoil with inner calm and unshakable self-trust. Here, the horse transcends its physical form to embody the spirit of a person who remains centered while everything around them burns and churns.

It is often said that “calm comes before the storm”, a deceptive stillness that precedes chaos. Yet in this work, the calm exists within the storm itself. It is not a moment of silence before destruction, but a state of consciousness, a deliberate strength that chooses serenity over reaction.

The piece explores the contrast between storm and flow, fire and stillness, tension and grace, revealing that true calm is not the absence of noise, but the mastery of it.

This artwork is sold unframed. However, framing is available upon request for an additional fee.
