About this artwork
"Willpower" reflects inner strength and determination in the face of life’s challenges. Inspired by the words of a Cuban friend, the work depicts a man alongside a horse, a symbol of resilience, nobility, and freedom. The red handkerchief and the thread in his hands represent the sacrifices and obstacles overcome through will. The painting is a visual metaphor for human tenacity, showing how indomitable energy and spirit allow one to face difficulties…
and emerge victorious.
