Cornucopia

I keep fit by walking—what an easy way to do it. On my walks in the countryside of Juuka, I always spot animals. I often pass by a horse meadow and admire those strong, empathetic, and safe animals that keenly sense their surroundings.

The "Cornucopia," or "Dream Gallop Among Natural Flowers," is an acrylic painting that depicts abundance and harmony. The piece combines dynamic movement with natural beauty, creating a dreamlike landscape where the colorful splendor of the flowers and the galloping horses express opulence and freedom.

The painting features two horses galloping freely in a pastel-toned landscape. The horses, pale silhouettes against a light blue background, symbolize joy, connection, freedom, and strength. The serene atmosphere of the painting transports the viewer to a dream world where anything is possible, and the horses gallop freely.

The work is painted on thick art paper with professional-grade acrylic paints that are bright and lightfast. The framer has protected the piece with non-reflective UltraVue UV70 glass, which shields it from UV light and accurately reproduces colors. The wooden frame and mat are white, and all materials used are acid-free.
