Blue Flower Rider

Acrylic, Oil Pastel on Canvas, Framed in Oak
40cm x 50cm

This painting explores presence, individuality, and aspiration. The central figure, dressed in a red tracksuit and wearing a cowboy hat, embodies confidence, independence, and a contemporary approach to identity. The horse grounds him, representing strength, loyalty, and partnership on his journey.

The blue flower suspended in the sky acts as a symbol of hope, desire, and inspiration - a distant, aspirational force guiding him forward. The combination of streetwear, symbolic imagery, and dynamic movement reflects a dialogue between the everyday and the transcendent, capturing a moment of self-realisation and pursuit of one’s own path.
