"Dea" (2022) Original Oil Painting by Fefa Koroleva

In my life there was one magical golden horse named Dea.
For many years she came to my paintings.
She came before her appearance in reality, when for several years I painted my golden dream horse. She came, living next to me, and even having gone beyond the rainbow, she continued to come.

Dea has always been anxious. Or maybe this anxiety was in me, and she reflected it. But we lived it together both in life and in pictures.

She hasn't been with me for 3.5 years.
Two months ago, my favorite stallion left for the rainbow. But he prepared me for parting. And there was less anxiety inside of me.
He seemed to help me live something that I had not let go for so long.
Calm settled inside and just bright sadness for beloved friends with the expectation of a new meeting.

When I decided to paint a portrait of Dea this year, I saw that she also calmed down. We just looked at each other like friends after a long separation. But neither in her nor in me was there any anxiety and pain.

I easily let go of the portraits of my horses, because having let go, I’m in anticipation of a new meeting in a new portrait. And it's such a warm feeling.
