Artist Luis Jiminez was commissioned to sculpt The Mustang for Denver International Airport in 1992. He died in 2006 when parts of The Mustang fell on him. From start to finish was a fifteen year journey of love, rich with purpose and meaning.The Mustang's blue metallic look, blood red piercing eyes, flared nostrils and eerie appearance cause some to view it as evil or demonic. Others find it repulsive. Many would like it removed.
This is a horse of power. Perhaps belonging to Helios, or Hades perhaps. It is a horse of the other world.
Notice its numinous nature, especially at night when power radiates from its very core.
Imagine for a moment, The Mustang selected this site for its location. The question then becomes what made it choose this location at this point in time?
