박성은

The 'Golden Horse' series embodies the ultimate form of spiritual freedom that artist Sung Eun Park has long explored. To the artist, the horse is not merely a creature that runs, but a symbol of the self and a totem of liberation. The golden horse in this series no longer treads upon the earth; instead, it floats as if swimming across traditional landscape paintings, expressing the boundless freedom of a weightless existence. The horse in the artwork has transcended desire and fear, reaching a state of enlightenment where it accepts itself just as it is. The pure gold adorning its body symbolizes an unchanging inner resolve and self-esteem, revealing the innate power of simply existing, without the need to race toward any specific destination. 'Golden Horse' is the culmination of the artist's spiritual journey. Originating from the core of the self, this journey transcends the boundaries of reality and fantasy, navigating through time and landscapes, scars and dreams, ultimately expanding into a modern mythos.
