"Emerging Gold"

"Emerging Gold" is a celebration of our deep, timeless connection to the earth and the enduring spirit of the horse; an animal that has accompanied humanity through the ages. This large, upscaled piece uses rich, earth-toned brushstrokes, interwoven with hints of gold, to evoke movement in the land itself—a reminder that the earth is alive and dynamic, just as the horse in motion mirrors its energy.

In this work, the horse represents our collective human spirit, emerging powerfully from the canvas with resilience and strength. It speaks to our innate desire for freedom, our capacity for hope, and the courage to overcome. The golden strokes symbolize the promises of the land—the wealth of wisdom, endurance, and connection passed down through generations. They remind us of the treasures we hold in our history, our roots, and our dreams for the future.

As a mixed media piece, incorporating both oil and gold, Emerging Gold brings together traditional materials to depict a story that is both ancient and eternal. The horse emerges from the canvas, as if breaking free, embodying the human spirit’s unyielding drive to conquer, to grow, and to honour our bonds with the land and its creatures.
