This is the most recent painting by Frans Thoka, South African painter

The image of a silhouette on horseback persisted in my mind, a reminder of its profound effect. I chose to leave some blanket lines visible under the horse’s legs, creating a striking visual. Working with horses was an uplifting experience – their vibrant energy pulsed through the ground. Their anatomy is fascinating. As I grow older, I aim to own a horse, imagining a life where I navigate traffic with ease, unaffected by load shedding.
