1st February 2026 Ms Paik San & Beena
I am excited to launch the next series of our 1000 stories with a striking acrylic painting of a horse by Ms Paik San. On 17th February 2026, we welcome the Year of the Fire Horse—a symbol of boundless freedom, vibrant energy, and unstoppable progress.
Ms Paik San’s distinctive style brings the horse to life—feminine, graceful, and breathtakingly beautiful. My fascination with horses runs deep, though I’ve never been near one. Perhaps it’s because I sense that horses understand us in ways we have yet to grasp.
To everyone celebrating Chinese New Year, may the coming year bring you peace and renewal. For others, I invite you to share your reflections on this evocative painting or on your own encounters with horses.
