Being a very passionate person I had to make a series
of paintings called "Horse Passion" especially because horses are
something I am passionate about. When I was 13 yeas of age my family moved not just to a new city but a different county. I did not have any friends especially
friends that spoke English. My father bought me a horse which was one
thing I had always wanted and that horse became my best friend. She was old
and needed lots of help but no matter how much I gave she always
gave back more love and kindness than I put in. Not every
horse will be this way but for me at that time in life, she was like an
angel. So what do horses mean to me, love, faith, kindness and hope. This is
what I learned from my horse anyway. Being very passionate about those
things I am therefore passionate about horses as well. I hope this comes across in this set of paintings for others to see.
