I have always been interested in learning about mythical creatures, one being Pegasus, the divine winged stallion prevalent in Greek mythology. Its depiction, often white with large wings attached to a graceful coat and powerful body and hoofs, has been engraved in my memory since I first studied ancient Greek mythology.

The legend and mythology of Pegasus inspired the work Equus Alatus (Latin for “winged horse”). The composition depicts the sensation of flying with Pegasus throughout the day, ascending and descending through a limitless sky filled with clouds. At nighttime, the magical stallion triumphantly transforms into a constellation of stars, forming a beautiful celestial image of its immortality and awaiting its next rider as it takes them into the sky between the realms of the earth and the divine.
