"Camouflaged In Color” is an original acrylic painting measuring 50x60 cm (approximately 20x24 inches) that offers a vibrant exploration of pastel colors, blending warm and cool shades into a mesmerizing display of yellow, blue, pink, orange, and purple. This head and neck portrait of a horse is more than just a visually captivating piece—it's a powerful symbol of the struggles we face in our everyday lives.

Symbolism and Story: This artwork was born from a time of deep anguish and self-doubt. Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you strive, your efforts are never good enough for those around you? That the negative voices focus solely on what you didn’t do, rather than recognizing your achievements? I, too, have faced this frustration—the feeling of having to hide parts of my life from those closest to me because they drain the joy from my existence.

It’s an innate need to share excitement and positivity with loved ones, yet realizing that some individuals may never provide the emotional support we long for is a challenging realization. Instead of expressing myself through words and conversations, I found solace in painting, where I could channel my emotions freely and authentically.

The vibrant horse in this painting symbolizes strength and resilience, qualities I have found in the presence of my own equine companion, Brylant. His coat is adorned with a camouflage of colors, reminiscent of leopard spots, symbolizing the many facets of our emotions and experiences. The black spots within the painting pay tribute to Brylant’s remarkable spotted Malopolski coat, a reminder of his own journey from trauma to strength.

Brylant has taught me the importance of self-preservation and protection. Emerging from a traumatic past, he often reacted aggressively to perceived threats, even when they weren’t real dangers. His fear of being hurt fueled his reactions—a lesson in the power of resilience and the need to protect our well-being.

A Metaphor for Life: "Camouflaged In Color" invites you to explore your own journey. The blend of colors symbolizes the harmony between your emotions and the world around you. The spirit of the horse in this painting serves as a reminder of your inner power and the importance of protecting yourself from negativity. This artwork is more than just a decorative piece—it’s a reflection of your struggles and triumphs, and a reminder that you are not alone in your journey.
