In the mood (2022)Oil painting
by Dominic Virtosu

As you must have noticed, this artwork depicts a pink horse taking a bath in a luxurious tub, in a full setting of luxury: an absurdly funny and impossible idea.

Part of a continuing series of horses, this piece is centered around a sense of weirdness and ambiguity. Color exudes through-out this painting as the artist uses the multicolored background tiles to further emphasize this scene of lavish luxury.

"I am always painting two or three horses at the same time because I like to explore color schemes and variants" said the artist. "For this one, I have taken a special interest in making the background tiles as colorful and varied as possible. You will notice the chandelier has translucent elements that show the background colors accurately."
