Mare and foal (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Fefa Koroleva

It all started when I came across two identical little frames that I simply couldn’t walk past. Then I decided to create a pair of paintings to give those frames a purpose.
⠀
Each portrait is independent and can easily exist on its own.
But perhaps because I always perceive mares and foals as part of a herd — or maybe because these two mares feel like friends — I really want them to stay together. I even worked on both pieces at the same time, moving from one canvas to the other and back again.
⠀
Each portrait measures 11 × 11 cm (15.5 × 15.5 cm in frame).
