Belgin Yücelen: Epic of a Horse I

In Belgin Yucelen’s "Epic of a Horse" paintings, her symbolic use of color weaves a tale of transformation and spiritual depth. The figure, draped in a gentle color, embodies renewal and the quiet stirrings of life, as though it is both of this world and beyond it. The glowing horse evokes strength and nobility, as if it carries the weight of ancient wisdom and freedom, tethered to tradition. Surrounding them, the smoky grays and blacks create a liminal space, a mysterious threshold between reality and the unknown, where time seems to dissolve. Yet, through this mist, light slices the darkness—a divine passage or glimpse of enlightenment, reminding us that even in the shadows, there is a path to clarity. Together, these colors speak of the delicate interplay between the physical and the ethereal, urging reflection on the boundaries between past, present, and spirit.
