Year of the Horse

Created in celebration of the 2026 Lunar New Year, the Year of the Horse in Chinese culture. The painting draws on the horse’s long-standing symbolism of vitality, perseverance, and forward momentum.

This watercolor work from the horse series emphasizes expressive line and fluid color over literal form, allowing the subject to emerge through layered washes and spontaneous marks. The horse is rendered with a sense of movement and sensitivity, where color functions as emotion and line as gesture, reflecting a balance between structure and freedom.
