Horses, Bison & Beasts of the Silk Routes

The paintings of bison, stags, horses, and goats by Valentina DuBasky are inspired by her travels on the Silk Routes in China, India, Central and Southeast Asia, where she researched cave paintings and ancient art. Created with thick impasto paint and incised markings, the paintings have been created in the rich colors of the Silk Routes-madder, cinnabar, garnet, rose, indigo, amber, plum, ochre, and jade. The paintings celebrate the spiraling and coiling horns of goats, the lyre-shaped horns of bison, the branching antlers of stags, and the spotted coats of horses.

The energy of animals that live in nature-and in the human imagination-guide the artist's process, evoking an imaginary world of the beasts of the Silk Routes.
