This artwork presents a singular Arabian horse facing left, composed of tightly coiled, flame-like lines reminiscent of classical Arabic calligraphy. The visual effect mirrors paper quilling, where each strand of mane and neck adds tactile illusion and dimensional rhythm. The horse's gaze is alert yet composed, as if pausing between motion and meditation. The refined posture, paired with the warm bronze and ivory color scheme, evokes dignity over drama - a quiet monument to grace.
Artistically, the composition thrives on restraint. The negative space is purposeful, amplifying the silhouette and preventing visual overload. The calligraphic curvature of the mane weaves tradition into form, while the earthen palette keeps the expression grounded and timeless. The work excels in conceptual clarity - it doesn’t strive to depict motion, but instead captures presence. Stylistically, it speaks in a refined dialect of quilled abstraction, where script becomes figure. Original in its sculptural lyricism and sharply judged in its aesthetic restraint, the piece stands as a serene yet striking portrayal of equine nobility.
