Original artwork description:

Favor by Ukrainian artist Tetiana Bond is a compelling exploration of strength, movement, and emotional tension, conveyed through the powerful silhouette of a rearing horse. Painted in dynamic brushstrokes and enveloped in bold crimson hues, this piece evokes raw energy and primal grace. The fragmented, faceted rendering of the horse—merging abstraction with anatomical suggestion—places the work at the crossroads of cubism and modern expressionism.

The red background is not merely a backdrop, but an active field of energy, amplifying the intensity of the composition and imbuing the horse with symbolic force: passion, resilience, and forward momentum. Bondareva’s mastery of light and contrast guides the viewer’s eye across the muscular form of the animal, inviting a visceral response.

This work is an exceptional statement piece that would elevate any contemporary collection—bold, elegant, and deeply resonant.
