The Rider
Project type
Bronze Sculpture
Location
Amsterdam
Artist
Olga Muravina
In The Rider, Olga Muravina captures a quiet, dreamlike moment between a childlike human figure and a slender, stylized horse. The rider, with a soft and rounded form, leans forward in a tender embrace—more of a hug than a command. There is no bridle, no reins, no tension—just trust.
The horse, elongated and calm, stands tall and still. It is not merely a mode of transport but a companion, patient and accepting. Their connection is intimate and wordless, evoking childhood wonder, safety, and the gentle power of being carried.
The Rider invites viewers to consider the beauty of surrender and the quiet strength found in mutual trust.
