White Horse in the Mist (2025)Oil painting by Aisylu Burangulova

A dream-like white horse emerges from a shimmering, mist-covered seascape in this atmospheric contemporary painting. Soft, blurred brushstrokes create a sense of motion, as if the horse is formed from water, light, and fog itself. The muted palette of greys, silvers, and pale sea-tones enhances the ethereal, otherworldly feeling, while sparkles of reflected light dance across the surface of the water.

This artwork was created during an intensely personal and emotional period in my life — the moment I learned about my stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis. The painting became a way to process shock, fear, and transformation. The white horse symbolizes strength, freedom of spirit, and resilience in the face of the unknown. It carries a quiet power, a sense of movement within stillness, and a reminder that beauty and hope can exist even in the most difficult times.

This piece is ideal for collectors who value symbolic, emotional, and nature-inspired art. It resonates with themes of inner strength, transition, and spiritual presence.
