The energetic and fast paced polo sport is captured by the artist, composed of a palette of deep brown and blue colours. Executed in an earthy palette, the agile movements of players hitting the ball are expressed in the artist's free flowing lines and gestural marks. It is a prestigious sport that requires teamwork, strategy, and co-ordination.
