Rearing Horse – Cubist Sculpture of the Spirit of Freedom

A rearing horse – the eternal symbol of strength, independence, and untamed spirit – reinterpreted here in a modern, cubist-fragmented form, where traditional anatomy gives way to a play of geometric planes, sharp edges, and open spaces. The body of the animal, lifted onto its hind legs with forehooves striking the air, is built from hundreds of overlapping fragments, like a sculptural form broken apart and reassembled, through which light and air can pass. The mane and tail, equally geometrised, retain a dynamic, almost calligraphic sense of movement, emphasising the moment of sudden rearing – at once an act of rebellion and pure, wild energy. The sculpture rests on a raw stone-textured base resembling cobblestones and polished slabs, further reinforcing its contemporary, gallery-ready character. The entire sculpture is handcrafted, which makes every piece truly one of a kind – subtle variations in patina, the intensity of the copper highlights, and the depth of the textured surfaces ensure that each figure carries the individual trace of the artist's hand. The surface is finished in a warm bronze-copper patina with a soft, satin sheen that gleams brightly across the open planes and darkens in the recesses, creating an effect of depth and inner light. Each fragment of the "fractured" body has been worked individually – with fine grooves, sharp edges, and micro-textures – giving the sculpture an almost architectural complexity. It is a work that fuses the aesthetic of Cubism, the spirit of Futurism, and the timeless subject of the horse into an object that is decisively contemporary yet deeply rooted in sculptural tradition. This is a sculpture with a strong, energetic presence – ideal for a modern living room, an elegant study, a minimalist loft, or the desk of an enthusiast of contemporary art, an interior designer, or a collector of sculptural forms. It brings into any interior the atmosphere of movement, freedom, and artistic boldness, becoming an object that is not merely decorative but profoundly expressive – a sign of the untamed spirit, creative energy, and the longing for unfettered freedom, open to every viewer's own interpretation.
