Horses in Harmony

Explore Horses in Harmony, a collection of multiple-horse paintings by Alvi Siren shaped by shared movement, repeated forms, and expressive rhythm. From closely gathered groups to emerging and abstract figures, the works reveal how individual horses become part of a larger visual energy.

The collection includes Harmony of Four, Harmony of Three, Four Horses Study, Three Horses Emerging, Horse Forms Study, and Galloping Echoes Abstract. Across the works, recognisable bodies and individual features gradually become looser and more interconnected, shifting from gathered horses towards repeated contours, fragmented forms, and abstract movement.

Harmony emerges through more than the closeness of the animals. Repeated heads, flowing manes, curved necks, and overlapping silhouettes create patterns of balance and variation, while expressive colour and brushwork connect the figures to one another and to their surrounding space.

Viewed together, Horses in Harmony transforms the equine group into an exploration of relationship and rhythm. From the composed presence of Harmony of Four to the energetic abstraction of Galloping Echoes Abstract, the collection traces a journey from recognisable gathering towards collective motion and painterly freedom.

Harmony of Four, painting by Ukrainian artist Alvi Siren

Harmony of Four

In Harmony of Four, Alvi Siren presents an elegant and emotionally resonant portrait of four horses brought together in a tightly unified composition. The work draws inspiration from the equestrian tradition associated with John Frederick Herring Snr, the 19th-century British animal and sporting artist, yet Alvi moves away from formal sporting portraiture toward a softer image of presence, relationship, and balance.

Harmony of Three

In Harmony of Three, Alvi Siren brings together three horses in a closely unified composition that emphasises connection, balance, and quiet presence. Set against a soft blue-grey background, the horses stand shoulder to shoulder, their heads gently overlapping to form a rhythmic arrangement of colour, line, and form.

Set against a pale blue-white ground, the composition brings together four overlapping horse heads whose contours emerge, dissolve, and reappear across the surface, creating a dynamic interplay between drawing and painting.

Horse Forms Study, painting by Ukrainian artist Alvi Siren

Horse Forms Study

In Horse Forms Study, Alvi Siren explores the horse as a subject of movement, structure, and painterly construction. Four horse heads occupy the canvas in close formation, each appearing at a different stage of development. The composition feels open and process-led, revealing the artist’s search for form through line, colour, and gesture.

Galloping Echoes Abstract, painting by Ukrainian artist Alvi Siren

Galloping Echoes Abstract

In Galloping Echoes Abstract, Alvi Siren captures the power, speed, and fleeting nature of movement through an expressive vision of horses in motion. Three equine forms emerge across the canvas, their bodies overlapping and dissolving into one another as if successive moments of a gallop have been layered into a single image.
