Run Toward the Light — Original Oil Painting by Nam Hoang

Run Toward the Light, an original oil painting of three white horses running across a green field beneath a dramatic cloudy sky, symbolizing freedom and new beginnings.
Run Toward the Light — Original Oil Painting (Three White Horses, 2016)
Overview
Three white horses surge forward beneath a wide, changing sky—pure motion, pure breath, and the quiet promise that the horizon is not an ending, but an invitation. Run Toward the Light is a painting about momentum: the moment you choose life, choose hope, and keep going.
The Meaning (Artist’s Note)
This painting was born from a personal journey—one shaped by leaving hardship behind and learning, step by step, how to begin again. Rather than retelling pain, I wanted to paint what remains after it: courage, freedom, and gratitude.
The three horses represent the forces that carry a person forward:
Hope (the horizon that calls)
Strength (the body that endures)
Faith (the quiet voice that says “keep going”)
And for those who never reached a safe shore, this work is also a gentle remembrance—held not in darkness, but in dignity.
