Învingerea răului

About this work

This painting shows a shirtless man with a serious face, his skin painted in warm browns. Behind him, a dark, shadowy horse rears up, almost blending into the background. The colors around them are cool blues and grays, making the man and horse stand out. The horse’s dark shape contrasts sharply with the man’s lighter skin, almost like a shadow taking form. The brushstrokes are thick in places, giving the painting a textured look. This technique is called impasto.
