Ride On
$7,500.00
Ride On bursts with kinesthetic force, charging directly toward the viewer in a swirling vortex of desert dust and golden light. The painting captures a northern horseman clad in ceremonial white regalia riding a spirited bay stallion at full gallop—an iconic salute evocative of the celebrated Durbar festivals. Thick, sculpted impasto gives visceral weight to the horse’s muscular frame and the billowing folds of the rider’s robes. The warm, sand-dune palette glows with atmospheric brilliance, evoking the heat, thunderous hooves, and fierce adrenaline of cavalry heritage. It is an electrifying focal piece for collectors seeking motion, power, and regal African tradition.
