AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This vibrant acrylic painting is a dynamic exploration of color, movement, and freedom. The artist, Denis Mihai, masterfully blends abstract, Cubist, and Expressionist styles to capture the essence of three majestic horses on what appears to be a sun-drenched beach at sunset or sunrise.
The canvas explodes with a warm palette of pinks, oranges, and yellows for the sky and sandy shore, creating an energetic and uplifting atmosphere. Floating, swirling orbs reminiscent of a starry night sky (evoking influences like Van Gogh's Starry Night in a different color scheme) add a touch of whimsy and depth to the background.
The horses themselves are rendered in bold, non-representational colors—a purple and blue one on the left, a green and yellow one in the center, and a pink and red one on the right—each a burst of chromatic tension and expressive energy. The fragmented, geometric forms of the animals convey a powerful sense of motion and vitality, symbolizing strength and unbridled spirit.

- Shipping is done by roll, by means of a recognized courier service.
