Plunge into the heart of darkness with Terezinha Lorena’s “Night Soul.” A horse’s head explodes onto the canvas in a close-up, its black coat devouring light like a hungry void. White markings fight back against the darkness: a blaze streaks down the forehead, mimicking a crescent moon, while the white muzzle frames flared nostrils.The title, “Night Soul,” injects the painting with an extra layer of meaning. 

The blackness of the horse conjures the night itself, while the white blaze and flared nostrils hint at a hidden energy, a soulful yearning that awakens under the cloak of darkness. The horse’s posture screams watchfulness, its entire being on high alert for the unseen whispers of the night. But who is this horse? Is it a guardian, a lone traveler embarking on a vast journey, or a creature stirred by the mysteries that dance across the night sky? Lorena throws the interpretation wide open. 

The viewer is invited to paint their own understanding of the “night soul” onto this enigmatic horse. The vast, clear blue sky, devoid of detail, transforms into a canvas for the viewer’s imagination to run wild, further emphasizing the horse’s solitary presence and the intrigue of the night.
