This image came to me on a summer day, very vivid and clear — two horses, one black and one white, standing side by side and looking at us from the canvas.
I always try to take an idea and start bringing it to life as soon as possible, before it slips away or its time runs out.
The meaning and the title usually appear only in the process of painting, just as suddenly and unexpectedly as the image itself.
For me, this painting represents the duality of existence: black and white as two parts of one whole. It is about the fact that good cannot exist without bad, just as bad cannot exist without good.
If life were always only good, we would not even be able to appreciate it, because we would have nothing to compare it with.
This painting is about the idea that these parts must coexist, and that we should not resist difficulties - because often they are a sign that great success and happiness may be waiting just ahead.
