Eleonora Taranova
October Horse

2024

About the Item

This painting, titled ‘October Horse’ captures a horse’s face surrounded by a swirl of autumn leaves. Painted in blue and yellow tones, the horse seems to glow, as if illuminated by the fading light of a late autumn day. The vibrant yellow ochre color represents the golden leaves caught in the wind, while the deep blues evoke a sense of calm and introspection, reflecting the cooling season. I was inspired by a feeling of change that appears when October comes. As autumn leaves fall, they symbolize both an end and a beginning, the cycle of nature mirroring the cycles in our lives. The horse, strong yet serene, stands as a metaphor for resilience. It’s a creature of movement and freedom, but here it pauses, allowing itself a moment of quiet reflection. The blend of blue and yellow tones conveys a sense of harmony and duality, balancing the energy of life with the serenity of stillness. Creating this piece was a deeply emotional experience for the artist, who sought to capture the fleeting beauty of a moment often overlooked. The horse surrounded by falling leaves is a symbol of embracing change and finding strength in the inevitable shifts of life. The artwork is not just a celebration of nature but an expression of the artist’s journey—transforming the canvas into a reflection of personal growth, the peace found in stillness, and the hope carried in every new season. Real autumn fallen leaves were used in the work. Not a single living leaf was harmed) The painting was exhibited at Solo show 'Whispers of Life' in Nata Watts Callery, Copenhagen, 2024.
