Description
Desert Pulse – This artwork beautifully captures the essence of the Arabian horse, a symbol of strength and freedom, set against a backdrop that reflects the spirit of the Arabian desert. The horse is depicted in soft tones ranging from grey to earthy shades, creating a stunning contrast with the background, filled with vibrant red and orange hues, representing the heat and passion of desert life.
The pearl-like white dots, arranged prominently and sharply across the horse’s body, are not mere decoration but symbolize the purity of pearls, inspired by the Gulf’s rich trading heritage. These sharp points enhance the horse’s beauty and evoke a sense of power and readiness for self-defense. The horse’s pose, with its raised leg, suggests strength and readiness for action, recalling its historical role in battles and defending the land.
The background is filled with fine, carefully placed dots in varying shades, enhancing the sense of shifting sands and flowing energy. It’s as though these dots represent the continuous movement of desert winds, stirring the sands in a natural rhythm. The dots seem alive, embodying the intense heat of the Arabian Peninsula desert before sunset, where the sands glow in hues of red and orange, reflecting the transition between day and night.
Within the horse’s body, colors like sky blue and green emerge, symbolizing the surrounding seas and the clear skies, while the green evokes the resilient desert plants, like palms and sidr trees. These elements reflect the unique balance of strength and beauty found in the natural environment of the Arabian desert.
