The artwork titled “Herd of Horses and Woman,” created by the artist Zaya, belongs to the art movement known as Magic Realism and falls under the genre of genre painting.
In this vivid and imaginative piece, a woman with an elongated neck and stylized features stands prominently in the foreground. Her colorful attire, adorned with intricate patterns, seems to merge with the elements in the background, giving a sense of unity between her and the environment. To her side and behind, a herd of horses is depicted in various colors, almost appearing to be in motion, seamlessly blending with the abstract landscape. The scenery encompasses a mix of natural and fantastical elements, including rolling hills, dreamlike towns, and vivid colors, encapsulated under a textured, surreal sky. The blending of real and magical elements characterizes the Magic Realism style that Zaya employs masterfully in this genre painting.
