An oil portrait of a woman in a lavish dress. The poem continues: “I like their lady horse swagger, after winning. Ears up, girls, ears up! But mainly, let’s be honest, I like that they’re ladies. As if this big dangerous animal is also a part of me, that somewhere inside the delicate skin of my body, there pumps an 8-pound female horse heart, giant with power, heavy with blood. Don’t you want to believe it? Don’t you want to lift my shirt and see the huge beating genius machine that thinks, no, it knows, it’s going to come in first.” There are efforts afoot to make us all feel disempowered. To liquidate our confidence. To mash our energy and hutzpah into a pulp. To run our hope through a meat grinder. To create a nation of people throwing up their hands and admitting defeat. No, I say. HELL NO! Limón's words fill me with vigor, get my heart pumping and my feet ready to go. My lady horse swagger needed this infusion of gritty tenacity and bold self-belief. This huge beating genius machine​ of mine (and yours, too) is going to win

I like the lady horses best,
how they make it all look easy,
like running 40 miles per hour
is as fun as taking a nap, or grass. - Ada Limón

Story-ALTtext⬇️

The title of this painting was changed from "Triumph of Women" to "Exploits of Women" to sharpen its meaning. “Exploits” shifts the work away from generalized celebration and toward hard-earned action, sacrifice, and labor. Ukrainian artist Mykhailo Antonchyk presents women as historical agents: the young, the mature, and the old joined in a collective passage through crisis. Three women stand side-by-side before a fiery orange-gold background, their bodies elongated and simplified into solemn, iconic forms. At the center is the tallest figure, a woman in a dark coat and headscarf, facing forward with a calm, grave expression and miliary-style medals pinned to her chest, plus a large white cloth sack across her body. To the left stands a younger girl in a reddish head covering and dark dress with her wide eyes, a slight build, and pale bare legs making her appear youthful and alert. To the right is an older woman in layered brown, olive, and cream garments, her lined face long and angular, while her posture is steady but visibly worn. Each figure carries a white sack with one hand held out to their right, as though ready to offer or distribute what it contains. Above them, angular forms suggest aircraft crossing the sky, while a bright orange sun creates a halo effect. The women seem joined not only by solidarity across generations, but by shared work. Their sacks could be bags of seed, food, or provisions, turning them into agents of sustenance rather than symbols of burden alone. The medals on the central figure suggests public recognition, yet Antonchyk’s deeper tribute may be to the uncelebrated work women perform in times of upheaval: feeding people, carrying essentials, rebuilding daily life, and protecting the future. Despite the pressure of war, the women remain grounded, steady, and purposeful. "Exploits of Women" honors the quiet heroism of preserving community and transforms "ordinary" women into a monumental, almost sacred image of collective strength.
