Description


In this dynamic and symbol-laden painting, Sadequain explores the metaphysical struggle between human agency and the forces of time, fate, and cosmic law. A powerful figure—bare-chested and determined—rides a surreal, mythic horse adorned not with eyes, but with clock faces, each one marking a moment in the relentless march of time. The rider, carrying a celestial spiral above him, seems to defy gravity, poised in motion yet burdened by the vast machinery of the universe. Surrounding the figure are circular orbs inscribed with celestial and spiritual concepts: Shams (Sun), Qamar (Moon), Zuhal (Saturn), Ruh (Soul), Aql (Intellect)—all floating in a cosmic space alive with stars, swirls, and calligraphic energy. The text in Urdu poetically questions whether man is merely subject to the mechanics of the heavens or if he possesses the power to transcend it. Sadequain’s visual language here is explosive yet controlled, filled with philosophical urgency. The horse—half real, half symbolic—represents the vehicle of human will navigating the timeline of existence. Time is not just measured, it is felt, seen, and ridden. Through this profound visual metaphor, Sadequain poses a timeless question: Are we passive observers in the universe, or active riders of our own fate?ORDERING INFORMATION Medium: Canvas Dimensions: - Small (16 inch to 30 inch X corresponding dimension as per aspect ratio) - Medium (30 inch to 48 inch X corresponding dimension as per aspect ratio) - Large (48 inch to 60 inch X corresponding dimension as per aspect ratio) Available unframed canvas only. Authenticity and Licensing: All Giclee reproductions are made from Sadequain’s authentic artworks, verified by and under a licensing agreement with SADEQUAIN Foundation. Availability: Print-to-order Shipping: Estimated 2 to 4 weeks Care Instructions: The canvas should be framed without glass.
