Husain's fascination with horses can be traced back to his childhood, where he grew up in a small town in Maharashtra, India, surrounded by horses and other animals. He was deeply influenced by the majestic beauty and grace of these animals, and they became a central theme in his art.

In Husain's paintings, horses are often depicted in motion, combined with bold strokes and a palette of bright, bold colors that (inspired by the Indian landscape, culture, and mythology) capturing their energy and vitality. The combination of vibrant colors and abstract forms to created a sense of movement and dynamism.
