Małgorzata Serwatka’s Horses presents a trio of steeds, rendered in shades of white and set against a dark, turbulent background. Horses, throughout history, have symbolized power, freedom, and nobility. Consider the horses of ancient Greece, often associated with gods like Poseidon, or the steeds of war described in the Bible. Even in the Renaissance, equestrian portraits were a hallmark of aristocratic power, seen in works by artists like Leonardo da Vinci. Yet here, there is a sense of wildness, untamed energy. The blurred lines and ghostly colors evoke a primal energy, a subconscious connection to the raw, unbridled force of nature. This brings to mind the concept of the "dynamo-gram," a powerful force engaging viewers on a deep, subconscious level. These horses are not merely animals, they are vessels of cultural memory, carrying echoes of past myths and archetypes. They remind us how symbols evolve, resurface, and take on new meanings, engaging viewers in a cyclical, non-linear dance through time.
