Maria Dykalo / Paintings / The Racing Horse , 2006
The Racing Horse, 2006 Painted in a palette of deep blues and contrasted with flashes of fiery orange, The Racing Horse is a study of pure strength and motion. Created in 2006, it reflects my early fascination with the spirit of British racing — not for the spectacle, but for the silent power of the horse .
There is no noise here, no crowd — only a single moment of resolve. The blue tones carry calm and control, while the orange surges forward like breath, like energy, like the heart before the race begins. This work is not about competition, but about inner force — discipline, courage, and the quiet thunder within.
