Year of the Burning Horse | 16” x 20” Original Trojan Horse Acrylic Painting by Orfinart

Year of the Burning Horse is an original acrylic painting by Orfinart depicting a monumental wooden horse engulfed in fire—a dramatic contemporary interpretation of the legendary Trojan Horse.

Emerging from a deep crimson and black atmosphere, the towering horse is illuminated by the inferno beneath it. Layers of gold, amber, red, and charred black create the impression that the structure itself is glowing from within, while the surrounding flames transform the familiar symbol of deception and conquest into something almost apocalyptic.

Inspired by the mythology of the Trojan War, Year of the Burning Horse explores themes of power, destruction, transformation, deception, and the consequences hidden beneath appearances.

Orfinart’s expressive linework gives the horse an architectural, almost skeletal construction. Against the dark background, the fiery palette creates an intense sense of movement and heat, making the piece especially striking from across a room.

This is a one-of-one original painting, created entirely by hand. It is not a print or reproduction.
