IN THE EYE OF
ENIKŐ EGED
BY HERMANCE CLERON
Hungarian artist specializing in graphic design and pattern design, Enikő Eged creates a figurative and colorful universe reminiscent of illustrated stories, moving away from reality to give free rein to imagination.“ I’ m not interested in naturalistic details, because in that case I could simply take a photo,” she explains. Enikő has always expressed herself through visual arts and seeks above all to represent her inner emotions. To convey these emotions, animals, and especially horses, hold a central place in her creations. A rider since childhood and now a horse owner, she maintains a deep connection with them. For her, the horse embodies freedom, serenity and passion. It instantly senses what humans feel, forming a simple and honest relationship where emotion comes first. Her freelance status gives her the time she needs to care for them and to travel. From Kyrgyzstan to Iceland, her horseback journeys have inspired drawings that feed her work. Although Enikő creates most of her illustrations on a tablet, her paper sketches remain essential for understanding proportions. Her universe has even gone beyond the realm of visual art to reach the world of fashion. Her patterns have been integrated into clothing collections, including one dedicated to the horse.“ It’ s really nice to see my patterns not only on wall decorations but also on clothing, because they become more alive.” She also confides that she wishes to explore oil or acrylic painting for future creations.

MERRY HOLIDAYS
Is there a more beautiful Christmas Tale than the one racing offers us each day? Like the pleasure of those comforting stories we savour at the very heart of the festive season, this front page retraces, like a Proustian madeleine, 24 highlights of an exceptional season, one that made us dream all the way to Japan with Calandagan’ s coronation. 24, a number that evokes dreams all the way to the Christmas tree, yet far too small to recount all the small— and great— achievements accomplished daily by those who bring racing to life, whether professionals or passionate enthusiasts: the love of the horse, the emotion of major events, the intense joy of victory, the daily life shared within a team, among friends or family, the comforting satisfaction of a job well done in the morning or afternoon, the care and well-being devoted to the athletes, from the peacefulness of the stud farm to the frenzy of race day, from office work to field work, through a camera lens capturing images that heighten sensations and prolong emotions. In short, these 24 stories are as many major highlights of this season, and an ode to each set of 24 hours within the 365 days that make up the year. Although it is still a little early, this is also an opportunity to wish you, on behalf of the entire GALORAMA team, a wonderful holiday season and a 2026 season filled with joy and great sporting emotions. Thank you for your loyalty, we look forward to experiencing it by your side.
