"King Power vs Dubai"

Original artwork on 24K gold-infused silk (Sona)

This painting captures a powerful moment from one of the key matches leading up to the 2024 Gold Cup at Cowdray Park, UK, where two iconic polo teams — King Power and Dubai — faced off in a thrilling encounter. Dubai would later go on to win the Gold Cup, but this match was a true display of top-level polo, filled with intensity, precision, and elegance.

Painted on Sona, a luxurious 24K gold silk by ZLT GmbH, the artwork draws on India’s tradition of wild (dupioni) silk weaving. The fabric’s name — meaning “gold” in Hindi — reflects its shimmering surface and rich cultural heritage.

The interplay of natural irregularities in the silk with the gold creates a vibrant, almost living texture that enhances the movement and power of the horses.Each brushstroke on this piece is deliberate — with no room for error — capturing the fleeting dynamics of the match in a medium as bold as the sport itself.This painting is both a tribute to
the craft of polo and a celebration of timeless materials reimagined in a contemporary context.
