Valerii Stratiuk - The Reins

The painting will be shipped without a stretcher frame. You will be able to have the canvas stretched onto a frame at the nearest framing workshop. The painting symbolizes an inner dialogue between a person and their own nature. The nude youth represents purity, vulnerability, and freedom from social masks, while the white horse embodies strength, instinct, and vital energy. The sea in the background suggests the depths of the subconscious. Together, these elements create a scene of seeking harmony between reason and instinct, control and freedom.
