The Stream in Root and Stone shows a noble steed rising from weathered roots, rough rocks and autumn leaves. His coat shines like sunlight on river clay, his gaze is clear, focused and free. This horse is not a symbol of movement, but of balance - between earth and water, strength and calm.
Part of the Veinbound Creatures collection, this work unites natural textures, bursting bark, twisted roots and soft autumnal tones with a spiritual animal portrait. The composition exudes calm, while at the same time evoking a sense of direction and strength.
The warm colour palette of brown, stone, copper and soft blue-green makes this work particularly suitable for interiors in rustic minimalism, earthy boho, natural elegance or quiet luxury style. Think mud walls, wooden accents, dried branches or rattan. Perfect for a quiet hallway, meditative reading corner or a living room where peace and nature come together.
The horse symbolises freedom, loyalty and an inner flow that is unstoppable. Here, that flow seems to anchor itself in roots and stone - a reminder that strength only truly arises when grounded.
