“The Guest” (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Fefa Koroleva

There are horses that appear in my paintings whether I call them or not — whether I expect them or not.
They come without asking about my taste or preferences.
⠀
In my life, horses have always arrived in the same way — simply declaring that from now on, one of them is by my side.
Whether I like it or not becomes only a matter of time — and of how ready I am to accept what’s happening.
⠀
This horse entered the painting entirely on his own.
At first, I wanted to paint a black one.
But what do my plans matter?
⠀
After all, he didn’t really come to me — he came through me.
To someone who might be waiting for him, even without knowing it yet.
Or maybe someone who has already forgotten they were waiting — but will remember the moment they see him.
