Girl, Horse, and Rider

Girl, Horse, and Rider

Oil on canvas with embedded NFC media, 2025

336 × 214 cm

A young girl stands before a monumental horse and rider, her outstretched arm poised between invitation and restraint. The equestrian figure emerges through layered gestures—drawn, erased, and reworked—so that the image oscillates between formation and dissolution.

Underdrawings and ghosted marks remain visible, holding multiple temporal states within the surface. The horse carries both weight and instability, while the rider appears fragmented, suspended between control and collapse.

The space between the girl and the mounted figure becomes a site of tension—grounded presence set against shifting psychological terrain. Embedded NFC elements extend the work beyond the surface, introducing time-based media and expanding the painting into a layered, evolving experience.
