In this ethereal painting on paper by Belgin Yucelen, the boundary between the seen and unseen dissolves into a misty dreamscape. A spectral figure, draped in translucent gold, gently hovers above a horse, disappearing like a distant memory from the smoky, textured shadows. The horse, rendered in soft ochres and golds, suggests strength yet remains veiled, as if fading into history.
