Set against a luminous turquoise ground, Zebra in Motion captures the animal in a state of raw movement. Zura renders the figure using his signature technique of free, uninterrupted lines—executed without the use of a traditional brush. Each bold stroke flows continuously without pause or ending, creating a dynamic tension between control and instinct. Through this process, the zebra’s iconic black-and-white pattern becomes abstracted, transforming the animal into both a symbolic and energetic presence. The vibrant background amplifies the sense of movement, imbuing the work with a modern, almost electric vitality.
