Description:
This painting shows three abstract horses with angular, geometric bodies and elongated necks, their expressive eyes giving them a sense of energy and motion. Earthy ochres, browns, and sandy tones define the horses, set against a textured background of deep blues, greens, and red accents, creating depth and rhythm. The composition blends Cubist and modern Indian influences, emphasizing dynamic movement and bold, simplified forms.
