About the Item

“Mustang” features a horse intricately adorned with vibrant, swirling red patterns that cover its entire visage, merging seamlessly with the blue floral background. The artist skillfully blends shades of turquoise and soft blues, creating a tranquil yet dynamic backdrop adorned with white lilies and delicate blossoms. The horse's mane, a striking shade of fiery orange, adds a dramatic contrast, emphasizing the animal’s dignified presence. The patterns on the horse resemble ornate filigree, suggesting a fusion of nature and art. This piece uniquely combines natural beauty with abstract design, creating a mesmerizing harmony of color and form. The overall composition exudes an ethereal quality, drawing the viewer into its enchanting world where nature and imagination coalesce. Contemporary artist, Augustina Droze, uses animals as symbols to describe her personal lived experiences. Her current body of work explores her life as a foreigner, her gaze upon the world as exotic, beautiful and bewildering. As an expat living in Beijing for the past ten years and currently in Barcelona, Droze’s work incorporates elements of East and West. Her swirling, dream-like paintings are colourful and confrontational, brimming with Rococo inspired abundance. She creates her own modern mythology, a storybook land where she is the other in a very other worldly landscape. Droze has exhibited in galleries and museums internationally in numerous shows, notably the Castellani Art Museum, Niagara Falls, New York (2014), Banaras Hindu University as Fulbright Senior Scholar, Varanasi, India (2017), the Beijing US Embassy as Distinguished Art Envoy (2022), London Biennale (2023), Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (2024) and Carrousel du Louvre (2025).

Artist Comments
Artist Guigen Zha paints a white horse wading along blooming lotuses in realistic detail. It stands quietly in the shallow waters as the moonlight dreamily glows on the pond. "It seems to have forgotten where it came from and where it is going," says Guigen. He conveys the message of loneliness being a different kind of beauty.
