Description from the seller
Fiery Horse captures a vivid, dreamlike moment set within a dark, atmospheric night. At the centre of the composition, a stylised horse bursts with energy, enclosed within a glowing circular form that suggests movement, vitality, and transformation. The surrounding deep blue landscape is scattered with star-like bursts of colour, creating a sense of quiet magic and mystery.
The contrast between the luminous horse and the darker background draws the viewer immediately into the scene. Decorative markings and flowing lines give the figure a playful yet symbolic character, reminiscent of folklore, imagination, and storytelling. The circular framing enhances the feeling that the image is a contained world of its own.
Created using oil pastels and acrylic, the work features layered textures and rich colour intensity. The tactile quality of the materials adds depth and movement, allowing light and pigment to interact across the surface.
Both expressive and visually striking, Fiery Horse reflects Devon’s interest in symbolic imagery and contemporary interpretations of classic artistic themes.
