About the Artwork

This expressionistic painting, executed with thick impasto technique and heavy textures, depicts a mythical and epic scene at sunset. A rider in traditional Iranian attire (purple and yellow garments) gallops on a horse, holding a curved horn (like a trumpet), set against a vast landscape with drooping willow trees and dark hills. The warm color palette—dominated by yellows, oranges, and browns—evokes a sense of warmth, motion, and mystery, while energetic brushstrokes and rough textures emphasize strong emotional expression and expressionistic impact. A powerful and contemplative work from contemporary Iranian art, inviting the viewer into a world of legend and heroism.
