Description

“Gentle Gaze” is an abstract painting that captures the delicate features of a young Arabian mare, known as Al-Muhra (المُهْرة) in Arabic. The painting embodies the strength and unique beauty of Arabian horses, despite the youth of this mare. The drip painting technique has been employed to emphasize the spirit of freedom and fluidity that Arabian horses are known for, adding depth and emotion to the viewer’s experience.

The mare’s innocent gaze is prominently featured, and the technique used creates a sense of colors flowing naturally from her body downwards, symbolizing the inherent strength and resilience of the Arabian horse, while maintaining its noble and gentle nature. The fluidity of the colors evokes a sense of movement and freedom—qualities that are intrinsic to Arabian horses.

The chestnut hue used in the painting reflects the noble Kuhaylan (الكحيلان) lineage, which is celebrated for the dark markings around the eyes resembling kohl, a traditional Arabic eyeliner. This gives the breed a distinct, masculine beauty even among the mares. The Kuhaylan horses are renowned for being some of the best Arabian horses for equestrian sports due to their robust size and strong muscles, which the painting subtly hints at with the deep brown tones that dominate the composition.

This combination of strength and elegance is a hallmark of the Kuhaylan (الكحيلان) breed, and the mare depicted here exemplifies these traits. The drip painting technique is not merely an artistic choice; it reflects the freedom, endurance, and fluid grace of the Arabian horse, qualities that distinguish it from other breeds around the world.
